I was introduced to CrossFit after my husband, Kyle, had heard about it from his Fire Department. The very first thing he told me to do was Tabata Squats: 20 seconds of as many squats you can do, 10 seconds rest, for 4 minutes. Five minutes after doing that, my legs were shaking and I had to hold on for dear life to the railing walking down the stairs. I was amazed. Four minutes of hard work did more than an hour in the gym! I was immediately hooked!! I love CrossFit because it isn’t just about getting fit and looking your best, it’s about staying healthy (at any age and level), camaraderie, friendship, and finding the ability to push yourself to achieve things you never thought possible.
Personally, I graduated in 2009 from Central Washington University with my degree in Food Science specializing Nutrition and Dietetics. In October 2010 I received my Level 1 Certification and am so excited to be able to train and help our clients reach their goals and see the amazing results CrossFit can bring if you stick with it. If you ever have any questions please feel free to email me at tennyson.jacobson@gmail.com, I’m more than willing to help!

-Certified Trainer with the National Strength and Conditioning Association-
Kyle was introduced to CrossFit in the spring of 2010. He has always had a passion for sports and fitness, but was immediately impressed with the rewards found in CrossFit.

The always new and ever changing WOD’s keep the sport exciting and challenging. Kyle has a passion for teaching and motivating others to reach their full potential, and hopes to introduce everyone interested to the numerous benefits CrossFit has to offer.
