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

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!
