Fill in the blank: I’m #allin Cornerstone because …it provides a welcoming community of great people that you develop friendships with who push you, support you, and provides the accountability you need to become a better & stronger person. Before joining I was getting bored with my workouts, was no longer committed, and my fitness level dropped off but after a buddy introduced to CrossFit I found a home here at Cornerstone and have been #allin ever since. I am now in my 40’s and in better shape than ever with the motivation to improve more. Glad to be a part of this community that makes you better while inspiring your friends, family, and co-workers!
