Why did you join CrossFit? I joined in May because the gym I attended had closed.  I called several gyms and decided to give Unyielding a try.  I'm glad I did.  I'm not a fan of change, but the people  at Unyielding have made this transition easy.  Very welcoming new group of friends.

2 facts about me: I worked as a personal trainer for two years with Jimmy Birdsong. (209-2011)
I'm terrified of heights! I discovered it when I had a panic attack on the sky bucket at Six Flags.  A few years ago, with my heart racing, I zip-lined and propelled off a semi high rock.  It was a proud moment, but I'm still not sure about attempting a rope climb...
