Q: How did you find out about CrossFit Route 7 and what convinced you to join the gym?
A: I found out about CFR7 through Google Maps. As I was moving to the US, I was searching for nearby CrossFit gyms in the area, and CFR7 stood out due to the amount of good reviews and also its social media presence! But what convinced me the most were the following three factors:
* It was close to my place at that time.
* Great reviews by the community (which equals a great community!).
* A spacious gym with a lot of equipment!

Q: What stopped you from coming in sooner?
A: I was in Mexico! But outside of that, when I moved here it was still during the pandemic, so I wanted to take some time before going into the gym with everyone; otherwise, I was planning on doing Murph 2021!

Q: When did you start at CFR7 and what were the goals you set when you joined the gym?
A: I started in June 2021. As I had just moved to a new country, I was enjoying every aspect of my new life, and it was a great surprise to see what a strong community CFR7 is! I definitely set a goal to improve my CrossFit skills, motivated by that community.

Q: What has helped you achieve success at CFR7?
A: Community! Every day at 6:30 AM (aka the “7 AM Wildcards” when I started), everyone shows up to give their best and motivate each other to go one more rep or push until the last second of that AMRAP. If it wasn’t for the community, I would probably have quit CrossFit three years ago.

Q: What advice can you give to others who are new to CrossFit?
A: Keep showing up and stay motivated when possible, but overall be consistent; consistency is the key to everything. Progress is not linear. As long as you keep showing up and being consistent, that will add up every day... small steps are still steps at the end of the day.
