Why Women Should CrossFit

*Because weak and feminine are not the same!
*Because you fear no challenge!
*Because you should train like an athlete - not a cardio bunny!
*Because you refuse to be a damsel in distress!
*Because you are willing to sweat, not glisten!
*Because you have yet to realize your full physical potential!
*Because there is nothing cooler than a strong woman!
*Because that which does no kill you only makes you stronger!
****BECAUSE YOU DO NOT NEED MACHINES.... YOU ARE THE MACHINE!!!!

Here, here!!! I love the women here at BBCF. We all come from different backgrounds in terms of athleticism, being a house mother, military background, or even just your average Jane. Just the drive, the trying attitude, the commaderie of the ladies amazes me. It goes to show there are no stereotypes for a woman or anyone by that fact. It makes me proud to be working out with all these inspirational and influential women. Which in turn, gives me the push to do Crossfit. I'm so happy I found you and started out here. This is my home :)

This is why I effing love you! And the whole gym! Lol. I am proud to be part of such a dedicated, strong, and awesome group of individuals, both women AND men! Soooooooo many kudos to everyone who makes this possible and gives everything their all, including trying new things (like half marathons ; ) and all that good stuff)! I couldn't have asked for a better second family and home : )

Hey Alena, I was really intimidated when I first walked into Battleborn in Dec09. Now I can't wait to get there. I am starting to see results. I know I am far from some of the other ladies I see in there doing their thing, but one day when I am a 6' tall amazon with abs of steel (aka you) I will know I have achieved greatness. I am a 47 year old 5'2" breast cancer survivor and my philosophy is "Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger". All the ladies that brave this workout are an inspiration to me.
