Walking through the doors of CrossFit Retro I was brand new to CrossFit and had no idea if this was something I was going to be able to do with having knee problems in the past. Nick the owner reassured me they can modify work outs for me on the fly that would suit my limits. I was still skeptical but after going to my first 10 classes I was blown away at how amazing every coach has been! Every coach has supported me and been extremely encouraging with all the tips and tricks needed to have success. I also don’t have enough words to express how much the other members have meant in this journey, I think they might even be my biggest cheerleaders! CrossFit Retro is not just a gym it is a community! Everyone has welcomed me with open arms and a smiling face every single day!
