I guess I’ve checked in enough that Facebook wants me to write a review ;) so thankful for CFBA and the community I have found. The coaching is great and it feels like a big family and that is something I have been missing for the last three years. If the community is built everything else will layer on top of it. Every day I walk in the gym and take a breath because this what Greg Glassman had in mind when he created CrossFit. The only regret I have is not coming in sooner. If I can do CrossFit so can you ;) More...

this place. is more than just a place to workout and get fit. it’s a community and a family. the coaches know what they’re doing and are genuinely concerned that you don’t get hurt and that you see improvements in physical and emotional function. then there’s the people. who cheer you on no matter what and expect only that you give your best efforts, in the gym and in life. this truly is the best hour, or two sometimes, of my day.

CFBA is amazing! I never thought in a million years I’d be doing CrossFit but these guys made it approachable and FUN. I had a meeting with the owner who helped me establish my goals. Because I was new to CF I worked with a coach one on one who evaluated my fitness level and taught me proper technique. When I got to my first “big kid class” the gym welcomed me and encouraged me through the hardest, most satisfying workout I had ever done. I walked in CFBA knowing I wanted to be healthier and in better shape. What I didn’t know was that I would get that and so much more by becoming part of the CFBA family. Come on in and say hello!

CFBA is not just your normal, every day meat market, there are no mirrors. In fact the vision of the gym is to help everyone overcome their fear and their self doubts. The coaches are professional, they are wise and they are very good with personal instruction. CFBA has been a place where I have been able to learn about functional movement and it has made me stronger both mentally and physically. It has had positive impacts on my fitness as well as my personal life. The community that has been built and the emphasis on team building and encouragement are outstanding and unmatched. We will be life long members at CFBA!I would encourage anyone and everyone to just come in and give it a try. It has definitely had a positive impact on the life of my family and I. The community is the best I’ve ever seen, the coaches are personable and focus on having you do the right movements for your skill level.I could not have chosen a better gym. After 4-5 years of paying for a membership at gyms all over town and never going, I am at CFBA at least 4 Times per week and seeing some nearly unbelievable results. More...

Crossfit Backward Arrow is an amazing place to get in physical shape, but it is also a one of a kind environment that is focused on all aspects of your life. The coaches care about proper movements, techniques, etc.; but they also care how your meeting went the day before, what your goals are and how they can help you in your day to day. Anyone and everyone should come check out CFBA! More...

To think that one place exists that can not only transform my mind and how I think about myself, change my physical body, bring joy and fun back to my walk with Jesus but also be a vital piece to the restoration of my marriage? Well, that place does exist. CFBA has been more than just a CrossFit workout for me and my husband. The coaches, the crew that shows up daily to put in the work with us, the community of people that exist together in and out of the gym make up CrossFit Backward Arrow.I’ve discovered my love of exercise and strength training and I am not afraid to lift weights now! After all, I’m a strong momma. ;) My husband and I are stronger together—better parents, stronger lovers of Jesus and a united team again. We are so thankful for the friends we’ve gained since stepping into this gym, not to mention we get one heck of a workout, too! Thank you J&L for creating this culture and community where other like minded folks come together to initiate positive change, both in self and in life. This is our forever home. And there’s more than enough room for you, too. More...

How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
A healthy diet is absolutely critical to health and well-being! In fact, your diet is MUCH more important than the exercise that you participate in! Your diet accounts for 80-90% of your weight maintenance as well as your ability to perform in the gym. If you are ignoring this critical part of your health, you are missing out on a significant amount of success! I would love to help you turn your health around!
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
First of all, I think it is critical to have a good understanding of what your goals are and why you want to achieve them. After that, I recommend the BEST course of action for them to follow and walk with them every step of the way until their goal is met. At that point, it is time to reassess, choose new goals and continue on!
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
The best way to achieve the body of your dreams is consistency with your nutrition and exercise program. You won't see or make much progress by having one perfect day, but you will see SO much more by CONSISTENTLY sticking to your plan! Consistency is much more important than perfection
What do you love most about your job?
I LOVE to see and help people to accomplish their goals! I am also a physical therapist, so to help people with their pain, function, strength, weight loss or general health goals brings a smile to my face daily! I know that I am put on this Earth to help others, and I love to help them with their health and fitness goals!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been to several gyms. Some of them good, some of them not as good.... When I stopped to think about it, I always felt like there was something missing at the other gyms. I wanted to be able to add the missing element for those that came to my gym. I feel like I have, but you will have to come feel it for yourself!
Why should our clients choose you?
If you ignore all of the other credentials that I have (PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, CF-L2, Cert. DN.), which I often do, you will find that there is a genuine desire to see you achieve your goals. My biggest goal is to be able to provide you with the education, entertainment and inspiration that you need to achieve all of your desires!
