Sue’s Response, Dona’s DL, and our first member of the month!

Posted on November 14, 2007 by Jason

After watching her video testimonial, here is what Susie had to say…

There was so much more I could have said.
I could have said that in about six weeks, I increased my max hill speed on the bike from 5.5mph to 7.0 mph. Same damned hill.
I could have said I have more energy now at 52 than I did at 32.
I could have said there’s nothing like coming to the gym to see if today’s the day I can do more…..
I could have said that before I started exercising and dieting, the world was getting smaller and smaller as I was getting larger and larger. As in: can’t hike up the hill, can’t take a bike ride, can’t go rock-climbing, can’t kayak, can’t walk around friggin’ Disney World because it’s too tiring and it hurts too much. I thought I was old. Thank God I figured out I wasn’t so much old as fat, because fat you can do something about.
Now, I can bike across New York state in one week, go rock-climbing, kayaking, and I could walk all day without getting tired. Heck, I could run 10 miles today if I felt like it.
I could also have said that I would never have done all this without the support and help of my friend and trainer, Jason Ackerman of Albany Crossfit. He treated me as seriously and respectfully when I was fat and sedentary as he does now that I’m fit and moving. He believed in me before I could believe in myself. If you’re in the New York capital district and you are looking for a trainer and a fitness program, look no further than Jason Ackerman and Albany Crossfit.
So there…I could have said all that!

Dona Wildove hit another Deadlift PR lifting a huge 150lbs!  Great job Dona! 

And finally…we gave out our first member of the month to Jessica Lasky.  She has done an amazing job since joining Albany CrossFit, we are very proud of her!
