I fell in love with CrossFit as soon as I was introduced to it and am now a Level 1 CrossFit Trainer! I have been doing it faithfully for approximately 7 years and I have seen my health and quality of life improve tremendously.As a type 1 Diabetic it is very important for me to stay active and CrossFit has allowed me to do that without getting sick of the "same old" workouts every day! I have 4 children and a loving husband. I enjoy seeing people reach their fitness goals and do things they thought they could never do! My favorite workouts involve heavy lifting and gymnastic movements. I love to try new things. I can be easily bribed with tacos and doughnuts.
Amanda Neighbors, SFG
Hey there! I am a StrongFirst Kettlebell Instructor and excited to start teaching here at Mountain Range Fitness. I wanted to share a bit about the kettlebell. The kettlebell is an incredibly versatile tool that builds all around strength and core stability, increases cardiovascular endurance and can improve one’s mobility. Kettlebell training is for all ages. I am 42 and am having the most fun I have ever had using them as my main training modality. I was so intrigued the first time I picked one up here at the gym that I bought myself a pair and started practicing. I decided I wanted to better my own practice and be able to help others that wanted to learn, so I started training to become a StrongFirst Kettlebell Instructor. Move better, get stronger and have fun with kettlebell training. Join us!
