How has CrossFit Kalamazoo changed your life, lifestyle, and level of fitness? When I began CrossFit, I don’t think I could’ve run a mile and the On-Ramp classes killed me. My diet wasn’t great and I was at a pretty average level of fitness. Now I’d say my fitness has improved a ton and a mile doesn’t scare me. My diet is cleaned up and it’s really awesome seeing the results of slow, long-term lifestyle changes. I can’t imagine going back to before.

If someone asked you “What is CrossFit Kalamazoo” how would you answer?

What is your least favorite CrossFit movement? And why?
