Shari - Long Time Crossfit woman

A concern ladies can have upon spotting bars, bumper plates, kettle bells and dumbbells in a gym, is getting "big and muscled up". Once they hear we do "Olympic" style lifting the fear increases that Crossfitting will make them strange looking and odd. Too much exposure to "body building", through steroid laden TV and print material about this has made us nervous. Correctly so. Few women desire a physic that is un-natural and masculine. And for good reason.

Shari is an old school, dedicated and strong Crossfitter who shows the long term effects of Crossfit on the female form. She came to Crossfit "skinny and weak" and you see her here 4 years later. Shari has the genetics she was born with. Beyond that, hard, hard work over the long haul produces good results.

Shari is one of many examples. Long, lean and strong depending on genetics is the long term result of Crossfit. So, do it with gusto!
