Before children I had a reasonable level of fitness as I had run the London marathon. But nothing had grab me and made me want to train everyday. After two stress fractures in my ankle I didn’t recover too well as I had my 3 children at that point and did very little. I started touch rugby when my youngest was about 18months but then suffered from plantar fasciitis which led me to having injections etc. So I started at CrossFit when still injured but wanting to do something. My husband and 2 of my children were already doing CrossFit and I was able to take my 3 year old with me while I trained. Everything was scalable and my fitness has massively improved too. Today I ran 800m 3 times in a WOD the most I have done since my foot injury. I have also lost over a stone in weight. And am the fittest I have ever been. Despite some set backs I always want to go to the box. I’ve never had that before.

CrossFit Aldermaston is a brilliant training environment, with knowledgeable and enthusiastic coaches and a friendly fun group of members. I’d never tried CrossFit before visiting CFA but can happily say all of the stereotypes I was expecting do not exist here! The CFA team offer a positive environment to work your body and mind, tailored to your individual ability, that is above all else, fun!
