Congratulations Frieda! Frieda started coming to CoreCrossFit back in September of 2012. Her goals were to “tone-up” and “be healthier.” She was impressed with how hard people worked here at Core, the heavy weights they lifted and how “nice” they were to one another.

What up to all my fellow Crossfitters !! This is an amazing honor to get from a group of people I consider family. I’ll try to keep this as short and to the point as possible I feel like I could write pages about my experiences and how much Crossfit and in particular CoreCrossfit has
When Tom first notified me that I was chosen as the athlete of the month I was super surprised since I’ve never really considered myself much of an “athlete”. I grew up in Monterrey, Mexico and never really had the opportunity to be involved in organized sports. I moved to Texas at an early
When Nathan came in for the first time I could tell he was really nervous and uncomfortable. He made me nervous just talking to him. We had a short conversation about his goals and what he wanted to get out of Core. I remember him speaking really poorly of himself and lacking self confidence. I

I haven’t worked with Andrea enough to write too much, but I have noticed an amazing transformation in her. She has become a serious competitor, even though she doesn’t realize it. I was watching her during “Lynne”, and she seemed frustrated with her Pull ups. What I saw was Andrea using a half kipping half
When Sara S. first started she made steady progress and then stalled. For weeks we encouraged her to push herself a little more, but she didn’t. I felt as if she was starting to take steps backwards. When people become less focused during workouts for an extended period of time, it always worries me. In
I always look forward to joking and talking trash with Angie. I feel that I can get a pretty good read on people the first time I get to see them workout. Angie came in and did her “Baseline Workout” with me. Right away I could tell that she was a hard worker, she wasn’t afraid to
