FAQs
Why are you doing crossfit?
Crossfit makes me physically and mentally strong to tackle any other aspect thrown my way in life.
What got you started doing crossfit?
I was really into running. My husband started this Crossfit thing when he was stationed in Southern Maine. When he was transferred home and joined CFA, it sparked my interest to give it a shot. I've been hooked ever since.
Why do you stay with it?
I have become so much stronger. What I love more than the physical gains is the amount of friendships I have made with other members of the gym. The amazing people you meet at this place can never be replaced.
Why do you Crossfit and what do you like most about it?
I love the people- Coaches, Athletes, the strong community it has grown to be. Everyone is welcoming- no matter where you come from, who you are or what you can and cannot do. You are accepted and pushed to your maximum potential to make you better than you were yesterday.

How do you get through and what is the most difficult/frustrating WOD?
