Rare Breed CrossFit

I can’t speak highly enough of the classes at crossfit. As a guy who considers himself healthy and fit having worked out for many years at gyms and with regular distance running, sprints and strict dieting it’s fair to say I went into this with some apprehension. The wife wanted to try it but not by herself so I committed to 4 weeks so she could check it out. We renewed memberships and I saw greater results in tone, fat loss and body shape than in most other exercise regimes I’d tried. The great thing with these classes are that you can go as hard as you want but Jennifer and Carlos (trainers) won’t let you give up. We started going for very different reasons and started at different strength and endurance levels, in those same classes we were carefully managed by jenn and Carlos so we both worked our butts off. I would walk out feeling sick because that is the way I hit the gym. My wife walked out so happy that she could see progress in less than 30 minutes a time. We both loved the classes and we’re sad to leave MIA for NY. Thanks jenn, Carlos you are awesome.

I can’t say enough about Carlos, Jenny and the rest of the team. I’ve been there for nearly three months and am in the best shape of my life. The classes are small and the instructor to student ratio is designed to make sure they give the individualized attention necessary to ensure that your form is proper and you don’t get hurt. If you are serious about getting in shape then the only place is animus crossfitt.

I started a weight loss journey in late November 2011. I started to eat better and get active and living a healthier lifestyle. After a couple of rounds of a home video workout I was still missing something, I needed more. So that’s when I decided to pay Animus CrossFit a visit. I decided to start off by starting the bootcamp program they offer, I was 34 going on 35 at the time and was afraid to jump into CrossFit immediately thinking I might get intimidated or hurt myself as I’ve seen or heard people do. I was stiff and my endurance and strength weren’t all that. But the coaches at Animus, Carlos, Jenny, and Dayron worked with me, guided me through every movement and skill as I gradually got better and better. My fellow athletes are also amazing, everyone checks their ego at the door. The coaches helped me out with my nutrition and are always there to push me or catch me. I eventually graduated to CrossFit under the guidance of my coaches and have been a box junkie for the last three months. I’m stronger both mentally and physically, and I’m no longer stiff, I’m an athlete again. This is a great place to start a CrossFit journey. Small classes, no egos and genuinely a family type bond between our coaches and athletes. Our coaches are very approachable. What they have going in this CrossFit is unique. They have been such an instrumental part of my healthy lifestyle and its success but they will never take any credit for that, they would say «it’s all you,» which I believe now. I’m 35 years old and I will kick my 18 year old version’s butt. I’m running 5k’s, Olympic weightlifting, and taking part in races such as Spartan Race and others and its only the beginning. They have inspired me to be the best me I can be and that can’t be measured with any words. I am truly indebted to them for they have helped me regain my health and keep it. Thanks for believing in me.

I have been with Animus Crossfit since January 2012, and to tell you the truth I was a bit skeptical in the beginning. I was already part of LA Fitness and had a whole workout regimen drawn out I followed to the tee. However, it wasn’t until I joined Animus that I knew I was doing everything wrong, from my workout to my diet. I was over eating and over training. Over the last few months I have seen large increases in muscle size and strength and a 4% drop in body fat. Unlike all the other crossfit programs out there Animus takes it personally to make sure each individual is doing their part. Their classes are small and you get all of the attention you deserve, rather than sticking you in a class with 40 people and letting you do whatever you want; that’s how injuries happen and how people get hurt. If you want a 40 minute workout join any crossfit, if you want to change your life, appearance and overall health join Animus.
