Our athlete of the month for September was Bill Foster! Bill started CrossFit in February because he has a couple of friends who had been doing CrossFit for several years, one who is now a coach. They suggested he try it out over the informal program he had been trying to do on his own. He appreciated how everyone at ASDC has been very welcoming and supportive from day one. He says if you are nervous or intimidated about starting CrossFit “The coaches do an excellent job of reinforcing the importance of form. Take as much time as you need to learn how to do the movements properly. Progression will take care of itself at the right time.” Help us congratulate Bill for doing an amazing job in the gym!Read more
