Favorite part about CFSC: There are many reason I love CFSC. Things such as the convenient class schedule options, the coaches, the overall space, etc. But the best part is the community. I feel our 9 am class is a family.

Something we don’t know about you: I suffered a major medical issue 5 years ago which opened my eyes to my overall health and fitness. It really kick started CrossFit for me.
