In the fitness world, (particularly brick and mortar gyms), most people stick around for 9-12 months on average before they call it quits. 

We've all been there, and sometimes life gets the best of us.

For the people at CrossFit Mountain Island that get past that initial year and decide to make their health and fitness a priority for the long haul, well, they learn a lot along the way. 

We believe what they've learned is valuable, and their lessons have a lot to offer for those of us pursuing a similar health and fitness journey. 

Crystal has been with us for 18 months, and this is what she's learned along the way.
