I started working out at Foundation CrossFit during the last year of my family medicine residency and I wish I had started on my first day instead. It took some time to find a four week period where I could complete the Foundations course, but I was motivated by the need to incorporate movement, strength, and training back into my life. 
I had tried on many occasions to work out on my own but I always plateaued, got bored, and quit. My body has felt so much better and more engaged during the last year; I am excited (and often nervous) to come work out. I appreciate the constant support and skills from Andrew, Sheena, Paolo, Zeb, Blair, Tony, and Amy. It has been a pleasure to work out in such a inviting community, fostering the development of athletic prowess and emphasizing health as a component of daily life.
Thanks for such kind words Colin! We're happy to have the likes of you and Eli as part of the family!
