It sounds like you had a positive experience with a fitness class or training session! Here's a rewritten version of your statement with a few minor edits for clarity: "I really liked the class size. The training was very personalized, which I appreciated. The workout was challenging, but not overwhelmingly so - it was just hard enough to be effective."

“I just attended my very first CrossFit class, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Coach Cal made me feel so welcomed and comfortable right from the start. The atmosphere was incredibly positive, and the other members were so friendly and encouraging—it felt like joining a supportive community. If you’ve ever thought about trying CrossFit but felt nervous or intimidated, I highly recommend taking the leap. This experience was empowering and fun, and I can’t wait to go back!”

Cal is a straight gangsta. Dudes a beast. And he’s a better buy. Welcoming of all kind. I’m a 6 foot 118 pound string bean and that guy treated me like an Avenger. 10/10 would recommend.

Janie does an incredible job coaching. I always look forward to her classes. She’s intuitive, accommodating, caring, and motivating. Janie is aware of my abilities while simultaneously helping me to improve and grow a skill that I haven’t mastered yet. Grateful to have her as a coach at GLFC!

Sam is great! Always super positive and supportive, but still makes sure you’re not cutting corners on the movements…like wall-balls.

Amy S.

Amber was a great coach that helps everyone in her class feel welcome and goes out of her way to check on you and answer any questions you may have. She was detailed in explaining the WOD and each movement and such scaling options for every level. Every class is different but everyone there is encouraging and supportive of each other. It has helped me want to do more and get the next PR at each class.

I can't say enough about how great Janie is as a coach. She brings a perfect mix of expertise and enthusiasm, but her genuine passion for helping others pushed me to do my best today. Past her skills as a coach, her attitude and personal support makes every workout with her a great experience. Her encouragement and commitment to your progress extends far beyond the gym, making it clear she genuinely cares about her clients success.

Coming into my first CrossFit class ever, I was pretty nervous. From the moment I walked in, Amber went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and ready. From introductions in the beginning of class, to answering my many questions, to form feedback, to her encouraging words and time checks—10/10 would recommend Amber’s classes and GLFC as a whole. It’s been an incredible experience and it’s only beginning!

Cal always does a great job balancing each individuals capabilities at class, from a beginner to a veteran, Cal uses positive reinforcement to motivate and correct. His music choice is also spot on. Always.
