I was recommended to CrossFit ISC by a friend who already worked out with Chris. I had no idea what to expect and had to pluck up the courage to go to their open day.
I've always been, shall we say "curvy" and if I'm honest always felt out of place and overlooked at larger gyms and classes and assumed it might be the same at CrossFit-ISC. I couldn't have been more wrong. The ethos of small classes, the attention to form and the individual coaching from Adam and Chris was exactly what I was looking for.
I have been a regular for about 6 months and I can't believe how much I have achieved. Whilst I still have lots to work on - unaided pull ups are just one of the skills that allude me - my personal proudest moment is my first ever handstands against the wall. Chris would not let me stop trying and the round of applause from everyone else there just completed the moment. Everyone who attends the box (I'm even starting to get used to the language of CrossFit) is friendly and encouraging. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone - get brave, get to an Intro session and I promise you won't regret it. I tend to do a mix of CrossFit and S&C and even gave Olympic Lifting a go - me doing a class called Olympic Lifting?!? - and it was really good.
Adam is very passionate about form and technique, which is infectious and when you get it right - it's a sweet feeling! And if you don't...keep trying, Adam and Chris always have ways of getting you there. I'm looking forward to continuing my training at CrossFit-ISC... And I WILL nail those pull ups!
