Our CrossFit journey has taken on a life of its own. Never would we have thought that the hardest workout we had ever experienced would bring the best out of the two of us.  We have been CrossFitting since 2018 and it has been life changing. This has transformed our lives in so many ways. Not only are we stronger physically and mentally, but I will suggest to you that we have a will that will not give up! As athletes, we have been taught to perform to the highest level. We have been met with many challenges such as rope climbs, handstand pushups and thanks to the coaches and their belief and instruction, we have been able to achieve our goals. We both put in our very best effort, whether that is in our work life or our personal relationships. The coaches and friends we have made at TBL...Read more

When I was eight years old, I was diagnosed with Rheumatic Fever and the doctors at Mass General Hospital discovered that there was damage to the mitral valve in my heart. At the time, they didn’t know too much about the condition and as a result, I was given a laundry list of things that I “couldn’t do.” Three things from that list that always stuck out in my mind were: 1) I couldn’t play sports, 2) I couldn’t run long distances, and 3) I couldn’t lift weights. If there is one thing people should know about me, it’s that I DO NOT like being told what I can and cannot do. If I care about something, I’m going to figure out a way to do it…no matter what. 1) “You cannot play sports.” This simply wasn’t an option for me. I grew up in a very athletic family and...Read more

1. Name: Johnny Martin 2. How long have you been doing CrossFit (and at TBL)? What class(es) do you normally attend? I’ve been doing CrossFit for around 3 years, and I’ve been at TBL since November. During the school year (I’m a teacher), my hours were really random, but during the summer, I was here every morning at 6! Starting on Wednesday, I’ll be here every morning before the sun rises. 3. What’s your why? Why did you start? Why do you stay? I have tried everything under the sun after my time in organized sports ended, and this has been the only thing that keeps me coming back every time. The competition, camaraderie, and especially the community is second to none. Plus, this is essentially adult P.E. class, and what’s more fun than that?!? 4. What does a typical day look like for you? In and outside of the...Read more

1. Name: Douglas and Jeanine Allin 2. How long have you been doing CrossFit (and at TBL)? What class(es) do you normally attend? Jeanine: 6 years (Always @ TBL) in August Doug just over a year. Mostly 9 am and 12 pm but we can be seen at the odd 4:45 pm. 3. What’s your why? Why did you start? Why do you stay? Jeanine: I had been training in martial arts for about 8 years and it wasn’t holding my interest anymore. A friend and I checked out TBL and I’ve never looked back. It’s important for my work to be in the best condition possible. Doug:I was maintaining an unhealthy lifestyle and needed to do something drastic to lose weight and return to the path of fitness. Jeanine urged me to try CF and touted the supportive community at CF TBL so I agreed to try it. I...Read more
