CrossFit Shoofly

Feb 17th, 2023

Before joining Shoofly, I was skeptical of Crossfit and downright nervous because of all the negative things Ive read. Being a large man, I didnt think I could do it, but I wanted to challenge myself and Im glad I did. During my search for a suitable box, I narrowed my search down to 3 and followed all of them on social media for at least a year. Shoofly in my opinion had the most knowledgeable staff, friendliest atmosphere, best facility, and offered a good mix athletes of differing fitness levels. The staff ensures you are lifting properly and other participants will push/encourage you to finish strong. As of now, I have been a member for 1 year (foundation class started February 2022) and Ive attended exactly 124 classes including todays class. In conjunction with a plan created by my primary care physician, we established a 4-phase approach to creating a better lifestyle: Phase 1: Creating a baseline and using it to compare what suggestions work and what does not work. Phase 2: Implementation of small life changes we agreed that most people fail because they try to change too much suddenly. Primary focus: making exercise a more foundational and consistent part of life. Phase 3: Changes to diet and meeting with a nutritionist to create a plan that works for me. Phase 4: Sustainability. When I began Crossfit in 2022, it was the start of Phase 2. Without any major changes to my diet, I lost 30 lbs. (gained 10 over Thanksgiving/Christmas ), increased my strength (I can now rep my former max in multiple lifts), increased my mobility, gained muscle, and (most importantly) improved my self-image. Not only those, but my physician also stated my A1C dropped by 50%, we are in the process of weening me off blood pressure meds, and my kidney function has significantly improved. Again, all of this WITHOUT significant changes to my diet. Now, in 2023, Im beginning Phase 3 and will provide another update in 1 year. If you come to a 6:30am class and you see a big, sweaty puddle with a large man lying in it thats me. Love this place.
