just wanted to reintoduce myself

[Abby Federmann]

I am going to make it a priority from now on to be more active on the message board.

a little about me...

I'm Abby,27,mom of 2 and wife to a wonderful solider.
We live in Lacey WA and have for 2 years!

I have been using CrossFit as my own workout program for over 2 years now.
I was a trainer with DIF in Fayetteville NC and then John Velandra got affiliated (Cape Fear) right as we PCSed out here to WA...so sad i had to go!

I have been a personal trainer for over 3 years now and within the last 2 I have been only training the CF "way"
I really don't see the use in showing someone how to do bicep curls while balancing on a ball anymore! hw bout jumping OVER the ball and thendoing a pushup...works your biceps I am sure! hahaha

I got CF certified in H.E.L CrossFit in Portland OR and it proved to be the best decision I have made in my career! Wass just plain and simple a wonderful experiance where i met wonderul people and learned SO much!

I REALLY want to get my affliation soon, using that trademark will really be amazing but in the mean time I have implemented CF into ALL that I do!

I work at a locally owned gym...Westside Atheltic Club...don't let the name full you it more like "Average Joe's" then it is a Fitness Club.

Yah it has some of the silly machines but it has more pullup bars and rusty bar bells then all that other crap!

I have found my niche there, I love the staff, members and non members who like to come out and try what I do a few times a week.

I have purchased a lot of my own equipment from KBs and rings to butt balls and dirty old tires! (yah didn't buy those!)

anyone out here in WA wanna workout let me know! I have a group of great people that I train with and we have a blast, we laugh, puke, sweat, cuss and smile!

Hey, welcome back.
Please keep posting your progress as it sounds like you've been drinking the Kool Aid for awhile.

[Abby Federmann]

drinking the Kool Aid..yah i like that! And i will keep posting! Tomorrow 7 weeks ago...we shall see!

[John Velandra]

So now all you need to do is get your affiliation! LOL

Ali and I roll out to Charlotte friday (her L1 and my 2nd L2).... great to have you on board though in NC would be better. *sigh*

[Abby Federmann]

OMG goodness...have so much fun! Good Luck! This is you 2nd time around L2? Let me know how it goes! Tell Ali to "Get Some"

[John Velandra]

Yep - they revamped (good move) the cert structure which will help ensure quality and continuity across the board.

I'm stoked as there's about eight people I haven't seen from up to two years ago.... it'll be a reunion as well as playtime! Now if only someone else I know was out here..... *sigh*
