Coach on Vaca
Ok ladies and gentlemen; don’t forget that I am off the next week. However I do expect all soon to be instructors to work on their respective skills. Trish, Sean, and Neil please try and work together a couple days next week. Don’t forget I need the 3 of you ready for the open house on the 5th.

"As an avid backpacker, I absolutely can not believe how much more I can enjoy myself in the backcountry after training with CrossFit. I hike faster and acclimatize much more easily than I used to."

My first experience with SHC CrossFit was the \"CrossFit Challenge\" Ben held for 3 months last year.
Before I tell you about the Challenge, let me say that I have been very active in sports throughout childhood and into my adult life. I conscientiously went to the gym three times a week for years - trying different gyms and different routines - and only managed to maintain my existing level of fitness. Then I heard Ben\'s presentation on CrossFit and decided it would be the key to my optimal fitness and enjoyment of my four grandkids into retirement.
Back to the Challenge - in three short months of 3-4 30-45 minute sessions - I experienced tremendous results - greatly increased strength and endurance AND reduced body fat from 38% to 24%! Who could argue with results like that - I was hooked! Ben Evans at SHC CrossFit is a very experienced, competent trainer that provides personalized instruction and encouragement - something else you don\'t get from your gym.
I challenge all you \"Boomers\" out there to get into CrossFit, get fit, and make the years ahead your best ever! You will not be disappointed......
