WOW!
What a difference a year makes. In January 2009 I embarked on a path to get fit. I enrolled with Rochelle Simmer Personal Trainer at what was a different fitness center at the time to start what I had no idea would change my life. CROSSFIT. I remember my first workout like it was yesterday. I couldn't run on the treadmill, do a sit up or anything. After many challenges and pushes by Rochelle- I have turned into quite the determined athlete. I originally wanted to just hire a trainer to help me lose 30 lbs. Little did I know I would turn into a Crossfit junkie and end up losing 50 lbs. Now I just want to be a crossfit athlete that is always challenging herself to do more and learning how to do every Crossfit move to prescribed weight or rep. Someday I would love to compete a a regional level. And that may not be too far away. Crossfit is amazing. It is a workout that will kick your butt every time- but its even more than that. Its a tight knit community of determined people that love to motivate each other and challenge themselves to be their very best. This bleeds into your everyday life. It builds confidence in you personally and professionally. It is so amazing to have people stop you and ask what you are doing and tell you how great you look. But ultimately I am the healthiest Ive ever been in my life. Thinking about trying it. Stop thinking and start doing. You wont believe where you will end up.

you are an inspiration to all!! I am so proud of everything that you have accomplished~ You stuck with it, got hooked and changed your life. Not only did you commit to your goals, but you are helping others with their goals as well.
For those who say that they don't have time to work out and change their health and fitness, look at Rhesa, She is a working mother who CrossFits 5x a week. She always finds time to fit CF in. Only an hour a day!!!
Keep it up girl!

Hi Rhesa--I watched you compete at our box last year at CrossFit Valley Park and was really impressed with your determination and competitiveness. Watching you run with that sandbag around your waist made me feel weak and insignificant! ;) I'm thrilled to see your progress, and it gives me renewed hope for meeting my own goals. Keep up the hard work--I'd love nothing better than to watch you compete at Regionals!!

Rochelle hit it, Rhesa is a working mom and finds the time to work out. This commitment to her health is an investment to make sure she will be healthy for the kids. When she started she was on high blood pressure meds and now she is off them. You look great and I'm proud of you. You are helping to inspire others to make positive changes in thier lives.
