After I moved to Austin with my husband and two small children in 2010, I struggled with balancing my fitness with my career and family. Having been a runner for most of my life, I had always been able to manage my weight. But with the demands of…

I’m originally from Slovakia. From a very young age my parents always led me to an active lifestyle. When I was 5, I started with Karate. Then I switched to swimming for couple years and at the age of 11 I started with Aikido, which was my love…

The Crossfit Round Rock Community has played an important role in my life going on almost 10 years now. From the day I stepped into the gym I could tell there was a real difference in their approach to fitness and the relationships they build with their members compared to…

I’ve always been interested in improving my physical fitness, as far back as elementary school. Remember Field Day? Pull-ups, the mile, sit-ups, etc. – I wanted to be able to compete with the best in my school even though I was always middle of the…

After having my 3rd child, I felt like my time to dedicate to myself and my health was put on hold.  Both from working full-time, parenting full-time, and just plain lack of motivation to work on myself first.  Fast forward 13 years, where I lead what I felt…

In 2016, I arrived in Round Rock, Texas, recently retired from the Air Force and starting a journey and new career.  I needed to get back in shape and balance the new demands in my life.  I was in the Air Force and needed to be in shape. …

Sports have always played an important role in my life! I started playing soccer in kindergarten and in 7th grade moved onto football. I had the typical dreams of a lot of kids in Texas… to play for UT and then, of course, the Dallas Cowboys! I was…

Where should I begin?
When I started CrossFit at CFRR?
When I started working at CFRR?
When I started coaching at CFRR? 
When I knew I had completely let myself go?

I guess the beginning is always a good place to start. I walked through the garage doors of CFRR in…

A couple of months ago, when I was first asked to be a Reborn Success story for CFRR and asked to write a blog about my CrossFit fitness journey, I had this blog easily written in my head. It is such an honor, and at the time, it…

Is this an accident? Did I receive this email by accident surely they did not mean to send it to me……… Those were my initial thoughts upon receiving the email from CFRR asking if I would be part of the Reborn Athlete Success Stories.  I was in shock…

My fitness journey began when I had an honest conversation with myself. Nearly 300 pounds at 5’3” I had a choice to make. Become diabetic for the rest of my days or be intentional about my future. Cardio always worked for me in the past. I began there…

I attended a drop-in class at Crossfit Round Rock basically out of curiosity because the box was literally within walking distance from my house. After my first class, I felt the sense of inspiration and profound community with the way everyone motivated each other, and it truly changed…

My Journey into CrossFit started about 2.5 years ago when I saw the 2017 CrossFit Games on television. I was living in Alabama at the time, at a point in my life where I lacked direction and was searching for an athletic outlet, I was channel surfing with…

I started CrossFit in December 2016, at age 54. I had kept in shape by running and playing basketball a couple of times a week. I had run one full marathon and four half-marathons, but I had gotten burned out on the running and was tired of my…

I started my CrossFit Journey along with a bunch of friends in December 2015 in Schaumburg (IL), which introduced me to barbell lifts & CrossFit WOD’s. In mid-2017 I moved to Austin, which is a completely new place for me. To overcome that I started exploring…

Crossfit Round Rock has been my stability in life since 2010 and now at the age of 42, I am just starting to feel like i am seeing major results from all the hard work and commitment that Iʼve put into over the last 8 years.

In 2011 I walked into a CrossFit gym for the first time. I almost couldn’t believe what I was
seeing: a group comprised almost entirely of “soccer mom” type women, most of them, older
then I was, doing things I had only ever thought professional or collegiate athletes could do.
They…

  It started with just some mild lower back pain. I’d woken up at around 3:00 AM on October 31st 2016.
Go back to sleep, you still have some time before having to get up to head to the 5AM Hardcore Cardio
class was what I was thinking. About…

Do you still do that Crossfit thing?  

I can’t even count the number of times I’ve been asked this question or one very similar to it.  What does this question really mean anyway? My thoughts usually go straight to, “I must have gained…

I joined CrossFit Round Rock in August of 2011 at the age of 55. After visiting my son in Seattle and going to a CrossFit session with him I knew this was something I would love to do. At the time, my cholesterol was high and my doctor…

My name is Helen Butler and I am a stay at home mom. Growing up, I always thought I was fat. Looking back at pictures, I have no idea why I ever thought that. Like a lot of kids, I went through different phases of being “pleasantly plump”…

Growing up in athletics from a very early age, 5 years old, I’ve had a good strength and conditioning foundation for most of my life. I’ve worked out, off and on, for 50 years. There was a time just after college, between ages of 24…
