WLC – An Opportunity to Grow
his was my first time doing the Whole Life Challenge. I have felt for quite some time that I needed to do something about my health. Up until I started doing CrossFit a year ago I was pretty sedentary, not eating very healthy and gaining weight and diabetes runs in...
Increased self awareness in pursuit of my goal.
This is my second time doing the Whole Life Challenge. It's an opportunity to explore 7 healthy habits to see what works for you long term. This time I concentrated on mobility, sleep and nutrition/clean eating. I wanted to feel energized, healthy, and comfortable...
Small shifts
This would be my third or fourth Whole Life Challenge. I have done it each time it’s offered. Why? Because each time, something has shifted for me in a really good way. Rarely do we change everything all at once and then be able to maintain the changes.I have found...

Andrea “Create a Strong Foundation”
I started CrossFit a few years ago to strengthen my body. I hated lifting weights but I knew if I didn't get stronger my body wouldn't support my beloved cardio activities... mostly running! Two years ago I started training for a half iron man and as result of the...
Lois “You will want to give up. Don’t.”
When Brooke asked me to write a blurb about myself and CrossFit, it became a good opportunity to reflect. Two years ago, this Mother’s Day week-end, I broke my right shoulder when I was babywearing my baby on my back and had a freak accident on a sidewalk. I will...
Ben “Finding true potential”
I’d been interested in CrossFit for about 10 months before I reached out to CrossFit Morden about joining their club. I’ve always been involved in fitness but never had accountability regarding my fitness goals. CrossFit Morden has been the biggest motivation for me...
James “Fitter at 40”

Kelly “Push for that pull-up!”
