Low Iron Fixed
“I have been coming to Crossfit Stoney Creek on and off since 2013, I then started coming regularly in June 2016, but I wasn’t losing any weight, why? I was so frustrated, I couldn’t get my diet under control, I would binge eat, and eat all the wrong things, I couldn’t stop eating simple carbs and sugar. By December none of my clothes fit me, I was sluggish, had no energy, and was always bloated. In January 2017, I decided to make a change. With Lee’s suggestions I cut out all sugar and simple carbs and stuck to protein, healthy fats, vegetables, and some fruits (mostly berries). It was a struggle at first, I would stand in front of a plate of cookies and argue with myself until I walked away. It then got easier and easier and before I knew it, I didn’t crave those unhealthy items anymore. I feel better than ever and my university clothes fit me better than they did in university! With Crossfit at least 3 times a week motivating me to eat a healthy diet, these two go hand in hand for the road to success. I still have a ways to go for my goal, but this is my story so far. Below the photos on the left are one month apart (145 lbs starting to about 135 lbs) and the photos on the right are from March 25, 2017 (after 3 months)145 lbs starting to about 135 lbs), about 124 lbs, this post is a few weeks old, I am now at 122 lbs (5’4 height). I now fit comfortably in a size 4-6/26-27.” – Jennifer D.

Diet Change Makes a Difference
“I just wanted to thank you both for the last 10 weeks as it truly has changed my life. I feel healthier and happier than I have in a very long time.
When I started at Crossfit Stoney Creek I had three gym memberships that I wasn’t using and was the heaviest I can ever remember being. I was overweight, always tired and not really engaged with what life had to offer. The first few weeks were extremely tough and I looked for every excuse not to go to class. It was not until I started the nutritional seminars that I felt things begin to change. The information I received and the research I did on my own showed me how wrong I was eating my entire life. Once I made this change I almost immediately felt my energy level increase, as well as my outlook on a better life. What was initially just another gym membership has become the first big step in a quest to become healthier and happier person for my myself and my family. Crossfit has become a necessary part of my life and I can’t imagine going back. Lee and Lorna – I can’t thank you enough for all that you have done.” -Jeff W.
Metal Health Huge Improvement and Weight Loss
“I want to start off by saying this has not just been a weight loss journey for me but has been a journey to achieve overall mental and physical health. Since starting at the gym, I have lost a total of 41 lbs, 18 of which have been since attending the nutrition seminars. The passion that Lee and Lorna have to help people lead a healthier life, has inspired me to make better choices not only for myself but for my family. I work at 4 am until 8 am and then I am home all day with my daughter so my days are long. Before coming to CrossFit I was having naps every day because I had no energy and was moody or grumpy. After having two kids within four years my body wasn’t the same as what it used to be and I was tired of being tired. I was eating the worst kinds of foods, the things that I thought were healthy, weren’t. I thought that ignorance was bliss; that I didn’t need to know what was in my food or where it came from and just ate what made me feel good in the moment. Through the seminars, I came to find that knowledge is power and that you can show yourself and your body love through food and that everything is affected by what you put in your body. I have been two months without any sugar, lowered my carb intake and increased my fats. Now I have so much energy, I feel amazing in the mornings at 3:30 am! Whereas I used to feel so sick and it would take me a couple hours in the morning to feel “normal”. I barely take any naps, I rarely have caffeine and my overall mood has substantially improved and feel like I am a happier healthier mom which is super important to me!
Coming to the gym at first, I was really nervous. I also had mom guilt (that’s a real thing) for spending time away from the kids. I have never been a strong or athletic person, but Lorna and Lee had a confidence in me that I didn’t have in myself. They made me see that I am strong and with their support I pushed myself to try new things I didn’t think I was able to do. The energy in the gym is positive and inviting. We all have the same goal which is amazing! Through all this I feel amazing physically and mentally and it feels great to do something for myself. Thank you guys so much you guys are truly life savers and life changers.
