The initial draw to CFAK was Kelly’s flexibility for the non-traditional work schedules that are the reality of many Alaskans. But the continued draw comes down to trust. Being able to confidently rely on the coaches, the programming, and the scaling to push me with intention. It’s that simple really. I will continue to #optCFAK so I can keep my body moving safely and efficiently when I #optoutside for work and play for as long as possible, while challenging my endurance thresholds alongside some pretty awesome folks.

CrossFit has changed my life. My initial goal when joining CrossFit Alaska was achieved a long time ago. While I do not have any specific gym goals, I do look for new physical challenges to take on. I have completed Spartan races, triathlons, the Clean Air Challenge, and numerous 5K road races since joining CrossFit. As a Masters aged athlete I never would have imagined I would be where I am today. CrossFit has changed my life. 

The CrossFit community is a unique one. Everyone is there for a common purpose regardless of age or ability. Everyone is treated as an equal. I have been truly blessed to be part of CrossFit Alaska’s 5:30 a.m. class (Rooster Crew) The amount of support I get from the coaches and other athletes is absolutely amazing. Truly a great group of people. I do not hesitate to return the favor as they are like family. CrossFit has changed my life.

I joined CrossFit to get stronger and help me with the outdoor sports I love, like hiking and running. I had no idea how fun it would be to get strong, or how strong I could get! The CFAK community was incredibly welcoming and positive from day 1. CrossFit has made me more confident and better able to do the things I love to do when I’m not at the gym. The coaches’ knowledge makes me feel safe, and after being a part of this gym for a few years now, I truly believe anyone can do CrossFit.

I signed up to participate in the nutrition program because I had struggled with yo yo dieting and I had slid back into poor habits again. I was also finding myself getting stagnant with my fitness/strength progress. I was stuck and needed help getting out of it but also knew I needed structure and someone helping me understand more about nutrition and how to properly fuel my body. 

I have been participating in the program for almost a year and a half now and plan to continue doing so. In that time I have lost 30 lbs, 8 inches off my chest/waist/hips, noticed a difference in my physical appearance, and increased strength and energy during workouts. I love how this program is individualized to my needs and is adjusted over time as I make progress. It also naturally helps me learn and understand how food choices effect my nutrition as I work to hit my daily targets. The biggest thing for me was discovering that I wasn’t giving my body enough fuel! I am looking forward to learning more as I continue on with the program!
