“This is typically something I don’t do but over the summer fitness has become a huge part of my life. After spending the past few months training at CrossFit Princeton and participating in ab challenges and work outs, I am very happy with the results so far. This has shown me what proper eating and exercise can do. This is only the beginning of what I hope is a life long fitness journey and I can’t wait to see where it takes me 💪🏻”

“It wouldn’t happen if it weren’t for CFP with the time you’ve put into the plan, workouts, and dealing with me peeing twelve times before you’re allowed to weigh me and helping with the kids so I can get a workout in. I can’t thank y’all enough for everything you do for me and my family! This is the place to be y’all!”

“While the goals of my cf journey have changed drastically since I first started in 2014, I have gained so much more at CFP than I could have ever imagined.. The community of CrossFit and the people of CFP have become like a second family that offers support in and out of the box.. The positive environment is a place that I can take my kids that not only offers them the opportunity to grow into athletes but promotes a positive lifestyle for my family. I know whatever life throws at me I can walk in and sweat it out. Busy mom life makes it near impossible at times to devote the time some would think needed to be “fit” but the encouragement you receive walking in the door and the friends that check on you when they haven’t seen you in the box in a while, keeps me motivated and molding me into the healthy fit mom I long to be.”
My name is Madi and I started CrossFit about 4 months ago? In the past I suffered from an eating disorder anorexia, but gained a lot of weight back to the point where I was on the opposite end of the scale, being obese. I went to my doctor and I just couldn’t believe what I kept seeing on the scale I was over 200 lbs. I knew I had to do something about it, but food was my comfort in life and I turned to it when I was stressed out, sad and depressed. But when I saw the ad on Facebook to join a challenge for 6wks I was excited because I am very competitive. So I contacted Mark (the owner/coach). He explained what time classes would be and what it would be like. I loved how I could contact the trainer personally on his phone, it made it special and gave me more motivation. So when the time came I started the challenge, and let me tell you I could not even do a squat I was winded and out of breathe after just doing two of them. I loved how there was also other people who was in the challenge who was just starting also, so it didn’t seem too discouraging that I couldn’t do many things. But the trainer knows and understands not everyone is at the same skill level and will modify the workout to fit your ability. I worked a job when I started CrossFit, but I made time for CrossFit because I loved the uplifting and positive attitude and encouragement I received after completing a workout. The praise of a good job is the best feeling in the world, I have seeked the praise of someone saying they are proud of me my whole life or that I did a great job. So, every day after work I went to CrossFit and received encouragement, and made new friends. Later on, I became stronger and was able to turn my food addiction of over indulgence to a healthy balance and a workout that was challenging and rewarding. I keep going to CrossFit because when my life feels like it is falling apart I can count on the gym, my friends, the music, the workout to make me feel better. It was a great escape from life for a while and very rewarding, I gained a lot of confidence. And it doesn’t matter at CrossFit Princeton if your skinny, fat, never worked out , or super fit they are all rooting for you and are just happy to see you out there trying your best.
) I was asked to do my first competition on a team and I was so nervous but decided to give it a try. Handstand walks was in the competition, I showed up alongside my team watching the heat’s go before us. Everyone looked so fit and they were walking on their hands like pros and I just fell on my head a couple times
when I got back to the gym that week something had changed, I decided I didnt need that drink of water in the middle of the workout, I would survive without it and get a few more reps in. From that point on I worked on handstand walks and after several failed attempts, one day it just clicked and now I can do them just as good as the ones who inspired me. Then I set a new goal, then a new one after that. Four years later I’m still setting goals and hitting them. I love CrossFit, it is part of my life and so are the people at CrossFit Princeton. These people are my family and my best friends. If you’ve ever thought about joining our community, I promise you will thank yourself for it. My son comes to the gym with me and he sees my hard work, just like the other mommas in here. Our kids see us work hard and I am confident it will be a big part of their lives as they grow older as well. It is also important to mention that not everyone has the same goals as me and not everyone will have the same journey. I love to compete and I have worked hard to do that, I’ve brought several awards and trophies back to CFP and I put my blood sweat and tears into this place. After I had my son, I weighed 150lbs (no muscle), starting crossfit I weight 115lbs (no muscle) and fast forward to today I weigh a very different and much better looking 155lbs. The scale means nothing so don’t focus on it or be scared of it. You get out of CrossFit what you put into it and I’ll say one more time, you won’t regret it.
