In spring of 2008, CrossFit Huntsville was born on the green floor in the Matrix gym. Each class, the rig would be moved out onto the floor, shoes and socks would be left at the door, and a handful of athletes would throw down. Back then, punishment was enforced for all athletes who didn't have the top score, so everyone but the day's top dog would slug through another workout that was more like torture than a WOD. Athletes would wade through the gymnastics pits carrying kettle bells, or climb the one rope barefoot and bare-legged. Quickly, much to everyone's surprise, the number of people wanting to participate in this new and unconventional training grew, and CFHSV was growing and adding more classes by the month. In mid 2009, CrossFit Huntsville the affiliate became an LLC, and later than year moved from the Matrix into the first warehouse on Johnson Road. Affectionately known as "the dirty warehouse", our new home was truly rustic in every way. A pull-up bar was welded into its permanent spot, and still barefoot most of the time, athletes threw down day after day, in a quest to get stronger, fitter and faster.

When I started CrossFit HSV in 2010, my 101 was with Russell Berger (it was not a formal 101 that we know today, and yes Russell, you were mean). Tabata air squats and some other horrific movement. I could not walk or sit for two weeks. At the same time, I had also been diagnosed as pre-diabetic with an AIC of 6.3. Eight years later, my AIC has been normal every year since (as recent as last week) and although I struggle with my weight, not being diabetic due to what CrossFit does to my ability to manage my blood sugar physiology..still shocks my primary care provider since I am going against the grain. My mother and three of sisters (one is my twin) are Type 2 diabetics. I have two uncles that have died from complications of diabetes. What we do is fun, hard, frustrating, but bonding and sharing this pain with you all is awesome. But please know, what we do really does make a difference in our health. And doing it with all of you, the coaches and the owners of CrossFit Huntsville is icing on the cake.
Happy 10 year anniversary CF Huntsville!!
And thank you :-)!!

In 2008 I joined The Matrix globo gym. Saw my first kipping pull-ups through the window that divided the cardio equipment from the T&T room. Took me 5 years of watching that group of Crossfitters outgrow the facility. and 5 years to decide to get uncomfortable.
