Testimonials

I have been working out for many many years. Since way back in high-school  I’ve been learning everything I could about fitness.  It wasn’t until I met Beau Bryant that i really learned anything.  Since working with Beau I am the biggest, fastest, strongest and have the most endurance in my life.  I participate in many sports and what I have gained at Crossfit Retribution has allowed me to physically dominate the competition. The thing I’m most thankful for however, is the overall improvement in my heath and life style. Since a young age I have been plagued with some serious injuries. Injuries that have prevented me from doing a lot of things in my life. After the hard work I put in with Beau, nothing stops me anymore. No more pain. No more injuries. – Patrick M.

I know I am the owner’s wife, but I feel so passionate about what we do at CFR, I wanted to share my story. For so long, I was very skeptical that any exercise program not involving long distance running would get me “into shape”. For years, I put in my 30 to 45 minutes of “cardio” followed by “chest and bi’s”, “back and tri’s” or legs, three to five times weekly. In retrospect, the problem was all that time spent and hard work, and I NEVER got any stronger!! Now I no longer have the luxury of time to waste, and I have to get the most out of my efforts.

As anyone, regardless of fitness level or previous experience, can benefit from getting stronger, I dove into the beginner linear progression program at CFR 3 weeks after our youngest was born. Our son is not quite 9 months old and I am about to achieve my first major strength goal and have a few more amazingly close in my sights. Funnily enough, as a 35 year old stay at home mom of three, I am as strong as I have ever been and in the best shape of my entire life. And I NEVER run, EVER. I squat, press, bench, deadlift, power clean and do pull ups three times a week. Some weeks, life is so crazy with our boys I only make it once or twice. And don’t worry, I didn’t know what these terms meant 9 months ago either, much less how to proficiently execute them!

Luckily for me and everyone at CFR, our very knowledgeable coaches are right there every step of the journey to teach, motivate, encourage and correct any mistakes. I seriously LOVE our gym. It makes me better and stronger (mentally and physically) every time I step foot into it. It is my happy place not only because of what I accomplish there, but also because I get to share others’ success and triumphs. And aside from the aesthetic benefits, after 6 pretty lonely years in Westminster, thanks to our incredible members we finally feel part of this community. It has been such a positive, empowering, life-changing experience and the best aspect has been sharing it with our CFR family! – Angie Bryant
