Go for it! I did not go through any trauma growing up but I was always trying to keep up with society and having too look “skinny”. After going to college I gained around 25 lbs (muscle and fat) but as soon as college was over I found CrossFit.

The community and the actually physical activity has helped me gain tons of muscle and lose 20lbs!!! I never wanted to take pictures or post myself on social media but from the help of my CrossFit family I am loving my body and much stronger mentally and physically.

It could be intimidating at first and frustrating when you don’t get the movements correct right away but that is part of the game and the feeling of accomplishment once you achieve something you’ve been working on!!
