Steel City Crossfit

My name is Patricia Muir and I am 57 years old. I joined Phoenix Fitness in the fall of 2005. I had had a bone density evaluation in August and the results were not impressive. I had lost 7% of my bone density. I knew I had to do something to improve these results. In March of 2007 I tried a Cross Fit class at Steel City Cross Fit and I have never looked back.    Adam Morden is the trainer at Cross Fit. He motivates challenges, pushes and encourages everyone to ensure that they get the maximum benefits from the work out. Regardless of your fitness level he can show you how to scale any exercise to meet your fitness needs. He is very tuned into any injuries that you may have and can demonstrate an alternate method of movement to protect any injury. In addition to this he is always positive, enthusiastic and totally supportive.

   Since joining Cross Fit my endurance and strength had increased dramatically. I can now do 5 unassisted pull-ups, back squat 110 lbs; 65 lb. thrusters and have once successfully dead lifted 195lbs. I have more energy; I sleep and eat better. I can bike farther, run faster, and hike difficult terrain effortlessly. I never dreamed that at my age I could accomplish the level of fitness that I have achieved.

  My bone density was repeated in August 2007. Incredibly, I have increased my density in my back and stabilized my hips. I am truly ecstatic! I have Adam Morden and the Cross Fit program to thank for this fantastic accomplishment. I plan to continue with this program to maintain this improved bone density but also to increase my fitness level.
