So here is it - 2nd Member profile My name’s Madonna and I’m a Crossfit-aholic! Really it’s all Mary Heaney’s fault. She introduced me to Crossfit Newry and I’ve been addicted ever since. I come from a background of running (very slowly) and solitary gym work (doing the same thing over and over, and getting the same results…). I’ve been in Crossfit Newry since it opened in 2013 and I can truly say I’ve enjoyed every sweaty moment. It is always varied, never boring. It is never easy, for you can push yourself as far as you feel able. The coaches are second to none. Always on hand to teach skills, encourage, give support, offer scaled, progressed versions for techniques not yet mastered, hand out bucket loads of good advice…. and they organise workouts, throwdowns, competitions, trips and the ever popular nights out The support and the camaraderie from my fellow crossfitters is amazing. There’s nothing like a “Come on!” or an “Up! Up! Up!” to make me push that wee bit harder or lift that wee bit more in a workout. And the banter, the craic and the support is ever-present. Now… you should know I’m just a very wee tiny shade older than most other members of Crossfit Newry …. But the only person who ever mentions age is me! … though I haven’t used the “my zimmer frame is parked at the door” excuse in a very long time. There are an awful lot of things I can’t do in Crossfit… but I’m working on them. The scaled workouts will take me there eventually, step by step. And every wee achievement I grab with both hands, beam from ear to ear and celebrate…. And the rest of the box celebrates with me. Since joining Crossfit Newry, I’m fitter, stronger, have better muscle definition, and feel good about what I can do. I am frequently very moved by the efforts, strength, motivation, stamina and perseverance of my fellow crossfitters. I have had the best laughs ever in a “gym”, and had some cracker nights out. Crossfit Newry is more than a gym, more than an exercise class. Don’t let age, size, attitude, perceived lack of ability hold you back. Just come in and do it. I’ll be behind you all the way… especially when we’re running! ;-) Oh… and thanks Mary for introducing me to Crossfit Newry!
