I would like to thank Heroes Crossfit for creating a great Crossfit box. I joined 5 months back to prepare for a week-long hike along the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) in New Mexico.

I'm a newbie still getting used to CrossFit; however, what continues to surprise me is the culture of support among the athletes who call Heroes home.

Austin was looking to make a change. Overweight, unhappy, and generally unhealthy, he had put on 60 pounds since graduating college.

I am 17 years old and started training at Heroes CrossFit on December 24th, 2012. Before CrossFit, I was a high school football player.

My first day at Heroes was November 20th, 2012. I had watched my buddy Russell Evans do a competition and was anxious to give it a try, so I strolled on up to the garage.
