Testimonials
“I’ve always been a big guy… even when in the best shape of my life. 6′ 4″ and 210 was a great place for me back when i graduated college (24 years ago). 6′ 4″ and 310 was not such a great place for me as of 8 weeks ago. I’m down 30 pounds, three belt loops, 2 inches on my pant’s waist size. I’ve got a long ways to go (i’m shooting for 220#) but i’m well on my way thanks to CrossFit Durham!” – Spring 2013 Bootcamper
“I wanted to take a quick moment and let you know how much both my husband and I have enjoyed our very first experience with CrossFit. Right before the last week of our first round of bootcamp, we both said how much we were going to miss CrossFit…so, here we are for another 8 weeks! Well, with my Coach’s help and workouts, I am in the best shape of my life. I will be turning 40 in July and feel stronger than I ever have. I still have a ways to go with my core and upper body strength, but I know I will get there over these next 8 weeks. We are so glad we discovered CFD!” – Spring 2013 Bootcamper
“I think you know how much I’ve loved Bootcamp and, in general, really love CFD. My Coach is great in terms of offering a week full of intelligently designed workouts that build on one another and ensure total body strengthening. I also really appreciate her nonjudgmental approach to everyone’s varying levels of fitness, injuries, etc. I’m excited to be in mini-bootcamp and to be starting Foundations in January!” – Fall 2012 Bootcamper
“My first Bootcamp is done and I feel like a bad-ass goddess!! Down 2.5 inches, added 12 situps, 10 pushups and 16 air squats in the 1 min test, 10 seconds off my 400, and most importantly, feeling pretty damn awesome. I’m ready for the next 8 weeks with Ashley. By the end, I will be doing unmodified pushups AND jumping on the 17inch box. YAY CFD!” – Deborah S, Bootcamper since January 2012
“I like the modification aspect. I was impressed by the gentle encouragement I received from my Coach. She was super positive and attentive, and always watching us to make sure we were in the right positions, etc.” – Winter 2012 Bootcamper
“I love CrossFit Bootcamp! My Coach is awesome. It’s like having your own personal trainer but with competitors in your class.” – Spring 2012 Bootcamper
“It’s no nonsense, intense, and motivating. The absolute best way to be fit. My Coach couldn’t be better. Worth every dollar and pain!” - Winter 2012 Bootcamper
“I continue to love Ashley so much! She has helped build my confidence and I’ve lost 20 lbs! Plus, I’ve added an unknown amount of muscle. I am really thankful for how awesome the class is–she’s the reason I come. Also, it’s perfect for my schedule–I have to leave the gym AT 7:00 AM to make it to work on time.” – Justin C, Bootcamper Since August 2011
“Well I did it. I finally did it. I have officially lost over one hundred pounds. No surgery. No magic pill. No easy quick fixes. But it is simple: good nutrition and exercise (and a healthy dose of determination, sprinkled with good support). The other thing that jump started me was the introduction to CrossFit. Dave never made me feel like I did not belong. THAT IS KEY! I think when you are big, you never really feel like it is OK for you to be anywhere. I also really like CrossFit which obviously helps. I like everything about it. The intensity, the ability to have adult play time, the variety, but most importantly the community. My CrossFit friends are so so so influential. I firmly believe you adopt the habits of those you choose to associate with. I can’t thank you guys enough. Your support and encouragement means so much to me. Not to mention the countless times you tell me I am badass. I like to be badass.” — Melinda B, member since Jan 2009
“After almost two years, CrossFit Durham continues to provide such a valuable fitness program. I appreciate the consistency and nagging motivation! They have created a wonderful atmosphere that encourages lifelong fitness. Great place that has changed me forever.” – Winter 2012 Bootcamper
“I wanted to let you know that I’ve tried keeping up with things this week. I was in Greenville, NC this weekend and decided to get a run/walk in. Well, everything there is flat — to make a long story short I ended up running three miles without stopping. It took forever – 48 minutes – but I did it. Today after I told Megan about my super human experience we hit a local park and ran 2.2 miles in 30 min. It was so much harder today because of the hills and I was ready to stop, but Megan helped me through it. It’s fun to grumble at you during the workouts but I did want to say THANK YOU for everything you have taught me. I never once in my life thought I could do the things that I do.” — Martha H, Weight Loss Bootcamp member since Nov. 2008
“I wanted to personally express my gratitude for CrossFit’s Bootcamp and my instructor, Bea. In January, I stepped into the gym for the first time in 10 years, horribly out of shape and overweight. I was tired of feeling all of the negative impacts not staying in shape or taking care of myself was having on both myself and my family. I wanted to change, period. Yesterday, I completed my first Bootcamp! I feel amazing!!!! I am so psyched about it and I will be back on Monday to begin Bootcamp #2! Thank you so much! This has been one of the greatest experiences in a very long time!” – Nate G, Bootcamper since January 2012
“No judgments or pressure! Everyone at gym was very friendly and supportive! This made all the difference! I am starting Bootcamp #2 Monday. Thank you so much!” – Winter 2012 Bootcamper
“I really liked how all the workouts scaled well. I came in reasonably strong in some areas and weak in others but every workout was challenging and made me better.” — Spring 2012 Bootcamper
“I loved CrossFit Bootcamp. I ate Whole 30 during the entire 8 weeks, and I lost 18lbs and 6 inches of fat. Pretty awesome! Most importantly, I am now strong enough and fit enough to play very actively with my three year old, which was my main goal. Thanks!” – Winter 2012 Bootcamper
