Results and Testimonials
“Before starting CrossFit I couldn’t do a push-up, squats were out of the question, and the thought of lifting heavy weights never even crossed my mind. Just thinking about stepping foot in a gym intimidated me. But at CrossFit Cd’A I found something unique. From the unconventional workouts to the unrivaled camaraderie, I knew this gym was different. This gym changed my life. I went from thinking I was a healthy person, to actually feeling like a healthy person. I made lifestyle changes that have completely changed how I live. I’ve lost 23 pounds, four pant sizes, and 24 inches. But most importantly, I feel amazing! The never-ending encouragement, support, and guidance I have gotten from CrossFit has made me into the athlete I never thought I could be.” -Darcy V.
Steven changed his life - can you change yours?
“I’ve told myself for as long as I can remember that if I ever got out of shape that I would do something about it. Well after years of excuses and denial I came to my senses. I was 25 smoking a pack a day since I was 16 and the majority of my diet was fast food or junk food. I needed to make some big changes and knew I would need some help along the way. After the first day of CrossFit I understood why my friend would never shut up about CrossFit. Cause it’s AWESOME. From that day on I committed myself to never smoking again and started following a the paleo diet. It has now been 6 months since I’ve started CrossFit and I’m by FAR in the best shape of my life. I don’t think you could ask for better trainers when it comes to Jon and Derek. They’re always coming up with challenging workouts that can be modified to anybody’s fitness level. They have a very wide range of knowledge for fitness and nutrition and are always more than happy to answer any of your questions. Another big advantage to CrossFit is the huge support you get from everybody at the gym. Not only do you have Jon and Derek pushing and helping you, you have everybody else in the entire gym pushing you, encouraging you, and wanting you to succeed. When I first started CrossFit I weighed in at a whopping 235 pounds! Now 6 months later I weigh 173! All thanks to CrossFit Coeur d’Alene. Not only have I lost over 60 pounds and I’ve seen huge gains in my strength(3 pull ups to 15 pullups now, and 0 kipping to 30 kipping pullups) and conditioning(10:45 for a mile now it’s 6:15). I have one regret with Crossfit and it’s that I didn’t start doing CrossFit years ago. Thanks CrossFit Coeur d’Alene.” – Steven M.
Josh - 20 pounds lost
Before/after - 2 months apart
“Before starting CrossFit, I was happy with what I was doing at the Kroc: JoshFit. I thought I was getting the most out of my fitness by separating different muscle groups on different days and playing basketball once or twice a week. I thought I was at the peak of my strength that is until my wife Meagan finally convinced me to get my butt to CrossFit. At the same time, I also decided I was going to try out for the Spokane Shock in a few months, so I guess something that supposedly develop my speed and strength couldn’t hurt. I got in there and with my competitive nature I went full force with every workout and I even went to strict Paleo. Within one month I felt healthier, faster and stronger than I ever had, and I was down 20 lbs. A lean, mean fighting machine I guess you could say. I just had my tryouts for the Spokane Shock and I have never felt faster or more coordinated, and I have barely touched a football before the tryout, only CrossFit. No matter what the results are of the tryout and am still totally stoked about my accomplishments in my training. I totally believe in CrossFit now and I will never go back to the way I trained before!” – Josh M.

“I started crossfitting about a year and a half ago. When I first researched it, I thought it was too intense for me to do, but I went anyhow. Thanks to Jon and Derek, the scare factor was eliminated. They did a great job of one on one coaching to help me get the maximum results from the workouts. The group workouts are a blast, the coaching staff is awesome. Even though you are in a group setting, the coaches make sure to give everyone one-to-one attention. The workouts are NEVER boring. I have been pushed outside my comfort zone and have found out I am more capable of things than I would have imagined 1 1/2 years ago. Jon, Derek and the rest of the coaching staff also pay great attention to nutrition and taught me how to eat correctly without it being boring. I have ran 5 mile races without stopping with conditioning just thru CrossFit Cd’A. I am in better shape now than I have ever been! I feel great, my health is great, I am strong and confident, all thanks to CrossFit Cd’A.”

“I love, love, LOVE CrossFit. Not being a natural athlete, I was a bit intimidated to start bootcamp. However, my confidence was quickly boosted by the friendly and supportive trainers and members of the gym. Everyone is helpful and they genuinely want to get to know you. I look forward to going to the gym every day and I don’t have the feeling of wanting to skip out or “go later” like I have at other gyms in the past. The nutrition information given is uber insightful my body is hardening by the day. I feel like an animal when I leave the place. Raaawr.” -Amanda L.

“CrossFit is the most physically life changing thing I have ever done, and I am almost 63 years old. I have spent my life teaching P.E., weight lifting, and coaching track and cross country at the high school level and this is the best thing yet. A personal trainer every time you step into the gym. Try it, it will change you!”-Jim M. “Otis”

“The other day a little boy and his mom were walking by my house. The boy turned to his mom and said “Wanna see how fast I can run?”, and then took off with his little legs flying! Too bad as we get older most people lose that desire to push their bodies to see what they are capable of. Thanks CrossFit Cd’A for bringing that back to my life! Wanna see how fast I can run?” -Tori G.

“I catch shoplifters for a living and I found myself in the position today to run down a 130 pound, 19 year old outside of the store. When I finally caught up to him and latched on, my first thought was “I don’t need this crap, I completed Helen just a few hours ago”. Out running someone 100 pounds lighter than you and 11 years younger….priceless. Thanks CrossFit!” -David S.
