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!”

Perfect blend of technical, form-specific coaching, and supportive, smile inducing cheering squad. Janie has the knowledge and motivational skills that make every class a blast and leaves you hurting, but wanting to come back for more.

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. Having Janie as a coach is a game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their fitness. Highly recommend!

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!
