Natalie, 41, is new to CrossFit. Let’s hear from her about her first 3 months!
What were you doing for fitness before Reverb?
I was sleeping a lot, and I trained for a 10k, but that’s about it. Sporadic at best.
What made you want to join Reverb?
My therapist told me I need to do hard things [haha] so I thought I could join a gym. I’m also entering the age where everyone is concerned about bone density and body mass, so I figured I’d start now!
How long have you been coming and what have you noticed?
I’ve been coming about 3 months. The main thing I’ve noticed that has been the most positive, is a much more positive mental headspace about my body. I feel so much more appreciative of my body and thankful for my body, and I don’t have as much negative self talk around pants not fitting or whatever else is in your head. I’m like, I can deadlift real weight! My clothes are also fitting better, which always feels good. I have a lot more energy, and I’m sleeping better.
What would you tell someone interested but scared to get started?
Oh, if I can do it, you can. I’m a total wuss and I did it, and have only cried twice, I think [haha]. It’s really great, everyone here is awesome. Come join us!

There you have it!
