Allo Dom!

So last Tuesday marked my 6 months anniversary of doing crossfit!  I simply wanted to do a follow up from the last “before and after” pic I had sent you at the end of April.

As you can see, I have a neck nowJ  LOL!!

Once again, I am amazed on how crossfit is working for me.  I have never felt as in shape as I do now.  I have more energy than ever, and I am even doing things I thought I was never going to do – like last week when I went tandem skydiving!!

Thank you and the entire L’Usine Crossfit family for your support and encouragement.  I look forward in what I can achieve in the next 6 months!!

See you soon,
Luc

Chris,
I went to the box at 7:00 this morning.  I am TOTALLY spent!!!  Great workout. The trainer held us to all the strict Crossfit standards. He sounded just like the trainers at Crossfit Champions. You must all be indoctrinated at Crossfit certification

Everyone was so warm and welcoming. I needed scaling and some modifications and those were graciously provided.  (My age is 59.)  Fabulous way to start the day.  I want to go back Friday and Monday for more brutality.  And I will be back the first two weeks of August and would like to attend then.  And, of course, I want a L’Usine t-shirt.

Thank you for allowing me to visit your box and work out with such a phenomenal group of people.  What a support group they were for me.

Just curious, what does L’Usine translate to in English?

Merci!  Bon jour!
Mary

July 9th

Okay, another awesome L’Usine workout at 7:00 A.M.  We warmed up, then did back squats. Sandra worked with me and I enjoyed that. She is a great partner.  Wow, your members are very strong. Very heavy weights on those bars around the gym.

I thought after the back squats the WOD was finished.  Silly me!  I forgot where I was–I was at Crossfit–not a globo gym  So, of course there was more.  My challenge for the day was stepping up onto a box (I think 18″ or 20″) with a 25 lb. plate. Wow–I usually use a 12″ box. But, I was able to do it. So I accomplished something that I can now do at CFChampions.

Again, many, many thanks to Dominic for his personal training and instructing me on the correct depth for the back squat.  I’ll also remember that when I return to the CFC box.  Would you mind forwarding this to Dominic. I’d like to bring a CFC t-shirt to him when I return in August. I forgot to ask him for his size this morning.

I’m looking forward to Monday. I certainly need a rest day tomorrow after two very vigorous WODs.

Merci
Mary

Great name and philosophy for your box!

Here is the email Joelle sent me to thank all of us for that amazing we had…

Would like to thank Roch Proteau for all the help and hart he put out that day! Thanks man…

Dom,

A simple thank you seems too little to express our gratitude for the amazing fundraiser you organized for me and my team at L’USINE on Saturday june 12th 2010.

I never anticipated what I witnessed that day. It was above and beyond all my expectations. Not only that were you able to organize such a great event in a short period of time, but you were able to attract a great number of people to participate in either competing, volonteering, encouraging and cheering. You raised close to $5000 and Dom, donations are still coming in. Thank you.

The money raised is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use.

But Dom, most of all, I was profoundly touched by your spontaneous and generous offer to organize this event. Thank you the warm welcome, the compassion, the good wishes and encouragement that we received from all present. The competitive spirit and frienship felt  throughout the event was inspirational!

All these wonderful memories and the energy and strenght emanating from the competion will be a powerful boost to my walk. It will help me accomplish my goal,to walk the 60 kms.

We will be keeping you, the participants and the donators in our minds and hearts when we walk on August 28 & 29th.

Thank you again all for your overwelming generosity and for making this event such a great success.
