Photographing Marco this week was great.  He is such a gentleman and refused to let me carry any weights because I might get my dress dirty.  In a slight departure, I included a couple shots from the Vanguard side of the gym.  Marco spends a lot of time training there as well so I thought […]

My favorite thing about Crossfit is how it makes you feel: challenged, accomplished, defeated, improved, empowered, strong, beautiful, and weak. Those moments where you do something you haven’t done before or wasn’t sure if you could are priceless. There is always a movement or weight that you are working towards. It pushes you. I love […]

David is the official Master of Propaganda for CrossFit Manassas, so I decided to let him be our next guy in the series to serve as ambassador. I love CrossFit because I feel that I get the physical activity that my body craves, while at the same time I get an outlet to challenge myself […]

As soon as I posted my very first pictures of Jamie, Kim told me that she wanted to be part part of my project.  Of course I agreed and we set up a date. The other day Kim posted something on Facebook that really caught my attention.  She said: “Today, I got a true before/after […]

  I am not certain I could say I have one favorite thing about CrossFit, but if I could narrow it down to two, the first would be the goal oriented nature. CrossFit provides the opportunity to set goals on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. It provides a path to accomplishment but makes […]

Hello, everyone.  Meet Tarren.  Tarren was one of the first people that I met when I came to Crossfit Manassas.  She always has such a positive attitude and makes my workouts more fun.  Here’s what she has to say: My favourite thing about CrossFit is the people. It’s nice to come into a place where […]
