CrossFit Garland

I’ve been a member of CrossFit Garland for 1 year now. Not all CrossFits are the same! I tried a different one before and not only got injured repeatedly but I didn’t get neither the encouragement and accountability I get at CFG, neither the progress I’ve had here.
Here’s a little before & after comparison on 1 rep max:
Deadlifts: 75lbs — 195lbs
Overhead Squats 15lbs — 65lbs
Front Squats 35lbs — 105lbs
Back Squats 55lbs — 125lbs
Shoulder Press 35lbs — 65lbs
About 10 years ago I was working out consistently, and I was a lot stronger that I am today. Unfortunately after being run by a car while crossing the street (in Valencia, Spain), back in 2004 most of my lifts went down the drain. Due to the impact, my hips were off of alignment and I was never able to squat again, nor to deadlift without getting my QL injured.
After the accident I met several trainers but none could help me out to get back to squat or deadlift with good form, so I gave up and quit training.
Meeting Robert Selders changed things dramatically. Robert is not only knowledgeable but most important down to earth and respects his clients, meeting us where we are and understands that not everyone is an elite athlete. Robert has helped me to work over my fear of falling and to correct mistakes that were getting me injured.
The other great addition to CFG is Mitchell Mills. He is also super knowledgeable and I am so lucky to train with him. Mitch coaches the Olympic weight lifting class on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 11.30am. He breaks down the technique to a point that it is easy to understand and have significant improvements for heavier lifts. As an example last week we did push press in class and the heaviest I could do was 70lbs, but then two days later thanks to correcting my technique I was able to push press 90lbs… I’m really loving it! So, if you have time to make it to this class, don’t miss the opportunity

I’ve been to a number of gyms and trainers. The people are great, the atmosphere is supportive and no fuss. Each class feels like a personal training session. The best I’ve been to by far
