Someone once told me “Your body will be around a lot longer than that expensive handbag you carry. Invest on yourself”. So what started as a one-day trial at CrossFit West Houston, became an investment in myself. These journeys begin at any size, for me it started at 184lbs, no fitness experience, and really bad eating habits. The gym can be a scary place for newbies, especially when all you see are really chiseled pros. But once I overcame that fear it was addicting. The way my body, mind, energy levels, and eating habits has transformed since I joined the gym back in August 2013 up to now, is incredible.
At CrossFit West Houston, coaches have the aptitude to let you see on your own what your body and mind are capable of doing. The way you think has more power over what you accomplish in life than you realize. Stay positive and don’t lean on others for motivation. It has to come from within.

I’ve enjoyed researching new Paleo recipes, and really experimenting with it.

Early man was low on the food chain more prey than predator, and yet from sundown to sunup […]

Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]
