I’m #ALLIN Cornerstone because….
The people and coaches here are great. It’s a positive environment everybody genuinely wants to see each other succeed. You can’t help but get better in that type of environment. I’m firm believer how you do one thing is how you do everything. Progressing and challenging myself in CrossFit has bled into other areas of my life. It has given me the drive and passion to be a better version of myself.
