“I have a physical disability called cerebral palsy. I work out at CrossFit 314 in St. Louis, Missouri. Yesterday in class for the first time ever I pulled a tire!!! I am so excited—it's a huge milestone for me! It's hard for me to put into words!”

“I shouldn’t be able to do this ... that’s what I spent 27 years believing. But when you’re willing to push yourself, expand your boundaries, and understand that the avenue towards success is ... your own decision, you can do whatever the hell you want."
CrossFit is a diverse community in every way, and that’s what makes us strong. No matter who you are, how you’re built, what you believe, or who or how you love—we are proud of you.
“Ten years ago I weighed 300 lb., and tomorrow I’ll be one of 40 men competing for the title of Fittest on Earth at the CrossFit Games,” Jared Enderton wrote.”

“No big deal but ... my friend and client, Tony, jumped today for the first time in years! Not only did he jump for his first time, but he went on to complete 48 jumping pull-ups in his workout today! 🎉🎉 I can’t even begin to express how proud I am ..."
“Age is just a number! 🙌🏻 Just a friendly reminder that fitness doesn’t have an age restriction. Your body is meant to move. Train smart, recover properly and take care of your body ... the possibilities are endless!”

feared jumping her entire life due to her cerebral palsy. However, she conquered that fear and got her first jump onto a mat a couple weeks ago. This week she took on 18.2 with burpees over a bar!”

When I saw toes to bar were the first movement this year I thought I would have to start this Open Season with a 0 on the leaderboard again. And until last night I wasn’t even planning on trying to hit 18.1.
That was a 6XL sweater, and size 60- jeans. Today, I can wear a XL shirt and 36/38-pants. Back then, I was pushing almost 500 pounds, now hovering around 245/250ish.

“Jordan has been a member at CrossFit Valley Forge for just over 2 years. Jordan is fully blind in one eye & partially blind in the other. Today he conquered his fear of jumping onto a 24” box! Everyone has obstacles to overcome and this guy comes in 3x/week & gets after them!”

“This may not seem like much to many. But when you turn your life around and lose over 100lbs, it means the world. Here is Aaron hitting some Box Jumps after today's morning workout.”

“It’s amazing how much stronger you are with even the smallest amount of confidence in yourself. My first attempt with this was awful because I doubted myself. Stood back, told myself it was light weight and came out much happier with my second attempt.” –Krystal Cantu

"Y’all, this lady is amazing. It may be hard to understand how much of an accomplishment her jumping onto this 25# bumper plate actually is, but there was zero possibility of it happening when she first came to TrainTown. At 71 years young, Cynthia Whittaker has, in many ways...

“Here’s 6 of my overhead squats from 18.3 last night. These felt good. I did 10 and 10. 35# felt good and I really wish I had my dubs so I could have RX’d this workout and did the 80# OHS.”
