My name is Mike and I am a 58 year old relic. After 20 years of inactivity I
began working out at a chain gym primarily walking on a treadmill and
working out with weights on a casual basis for about a year. That was a
start, however other than feeling good that I was making an effort to
exercise I had little results to show for my effort. A good friend urged me
to try CrossFit Dewitt. I have been on blood pressure medication for five
years and was fearful strenuous exercise might be too much stress for my
heart. The people at CrossFit DeWitt were aware of my condition and their knowledge
and training helped me to gradually strengthen my heart and endurance levels.
My confidence grew and my endurance levels improved to a point that after
three months of training my Doctor took me off of my blood pressure
medication because my results have been so positive. The trainers have been
great(Josh, Austin, Joe and Tex),they help me to feel that I have
accomplished something special with each workout. Their enthusiasm makes me
want to come back each week to continue to improve my health.
