In November, we launched our first ever 30 day CrossFit trial. We wanted potential members to have the time to get to know the gym, meet other members of our CrossFit community and find out exactly what a CrossFit WOD entailed.
Turns out they liked it so much that quite a few of them have stayed, signing up to a full membership and becoming a part of Team 3D.
We grilled a couple of new recruits to find out why they initially signed up to the 30 day Crossfit trial option and why they decided to stick around.
Kelsey
Kelsey first came to 3D for a one off taster session. Having been to other Crossfit gyms in Manchester before, Kelsey knew that the community and the programming were important to her and so signed up to the 30 day trial to find out if 3D had these things. (Spoiler: we do).
“The trial really let me get to know other people and get a feel for the programme… and I loved it! The people are so friendly and welcoming and the workouts are fun, varied and challenging. It bought my love for CrossFit back.”
Kelsey is now a fully fledged member of Crossfit 3D and, despite Madders making her run in the rain on a Saturday morning (character building apparently) she’s still loving it.
Eamon
Eamon was new to CrossFit before trying 3D. He gave the 30 day trial a go after years of running and cycling had led to a lot of injuries. Eamon liked the idea of CrossFit because of the combination of strength workouts with high intensity cardio and, after trying a few WODs, he loved the variety of each workout and that no workout was the same.
“I loved the workouts and the environment immediately, but what really boosted my enjoyment was the support from the coaches and other members. I was concerned about joining initially due to my lack of experience and overall fitness. The coaches spent extra time to ensure I was performing the movements correctly and was getting the most out of each session.”
We don’t want to harp on too much about our CrossFit coaches and community (ok we do) but Eamon went on to say:
“I felt immensely supported and motivated by the coaching staff and other members. It’s been a huge factor as to why I’ve continued to enjoy CrossFit.”
