True Story: Brandon joined Team CrossFit/LYFE Athletics when he was at his highest weight in years

        

He was out of shape, lacked motivation, and didn’t know where to begin. But he decided to take advantage of Team CrossFit’s/LYFE Athletics free 3-day trial, where he was immediately welcomed into the community. They helped him scale the workout, and introduced him to new exercises and techniques using the gym’s state-of-the-art equipment. Visit http://teamcrossfit.com to learn how they can help you too! He calls Team CrossFit/LYFE Athletics the #1 Fitness Facility in the Valley!
