Congrats Matt, Chris and Dave

Reading through my Facebook feed it was great to see so many EXP members getting outside this weekend for some adventure races, trail runs and road races. The best part was to see a number of members who met at the studio and who are now training together OUTSIDE the studio. I’ve always said if you want to be fit then find a group of fit people and start hanging out with them. That’s just one of the things that makes EXP so much more than just an (INCREDIBLE) place to workout. It is also an amazing community of people who are all focused on becoming healthier, stronger and better in all areas of life. How much better could it get if you are someone who wants to get healthier and fitter. Just surround yourself with great coaches who care and fantastic members who are there to support your every step and cheer you on as you celebrate your successes. Man, I wish everyone could experience CrossFit for themselves. Now if only we could share that message with the other 50,000 people in Leominster and Fitchburg who are struggling with their weight and can’t seem to figure out how to live a healthy and fit lifestyle. If you’re an EXP member then spread the word and let people know about what you do, where you train and how CrossFit has changed your life. If you’re one of those people still searching for a weight/health/fitness solution that WORKS then just stop by and train with us at EXP and you’ll be amazed at where it can take you.

8 months ago Matt G. suffered from chronic back pain and was about 40lbs heavier. Here he is this weekend doing a 5mile adventure race looking all jacked up, way to go Matt!'s race
