Isela Aguilera Name:Isela Aguilera Age:23 Member since:2016 What was your first memorable CrossFit experience?My first day at Double Edge was the most memorable for me. Walking in with no experience, not knowing anybody and struggling with every movement, it was the most intimidating day. After that first day, there was no looking back. With the help of the coaches, the encouragement of the 6 p.m. class and all of the DE members, I continue to grow, improve and have fun!

Justin & Alisa Wike Name:Justin Wike Age:36 CrossFitting since:2015 What was your first memorable CrossFit experience?My first memorable experience was when a friend of mine asked me to be his partner in the 2015 Metcon for Hope. I was not a member of DE yet and felt I was in good shape, as I had been racing BMX all year long and had a good foundation for strength. The first workout started on the Assault bike and you had to complete 50 calories. I automatically thought I would finish in the top spot due to my BMX racing (I had a bit of an ego!). Well the bike completely humbled me very quickly and showed me I wasn’t as fit as I thought. Favorite lift/movement:Squat Cleans. Least favorite lift/movement:Chest to Bar (I’m horrible at them). Why do you do CrossFit?I CrossFit because it has increased my fitness and overall health. CrossFit prepares me behind the scenes to help ensure I make it home to my finally after my shift at work. Who would you recommend CrossFit to?I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to improve themselves, or who enjoys a good challenge. What does Double Edge meant to you?Double Edge means family, fitness and loyalty. A place I can come to get a quality workout and then drink a beer with the coaches afterwards. Double Edge brings a positive escape to my everyday life. Name:Alisa Wike Age:36 CrossFitting since:2015 What was your first memorable CrossFit experience?Climbing the rope for the first time, and watching Coach Sabrina compete in the Open and seeing her drop to her knees during a heavy squat snatch and stand back up! Favorite lift/movement:Handstand walk and burpee box jump overs. Least favorite lift/movement:2000 Meter row under 8:15. I failed by 1 second the first attempt and 3 seconds the second attempt. Why do you do CrossFit?It is a natural stress reliever, I enjoy the people, to stay healthy and make gains. I have gained 12lbs of muscle. CrossFit reminds me every day how blessed and grateful I am to be able to wake up and do what we do. Who would you recommend CrossFit to?Anybody who wants to improve themselves mentally and physically What does Double Edge mean to you?A safe place to come everyday for guidance, support and self-improvement. Double Edge has a unique form of camaraderie that cannot be replaced.

Brandon Carlson Name:Brandon Carlson Age:31 CrossFitting since:2019 What was your first memorable CrossFit experience?It’s got to be either, 1) Dropping an empty bar bell my first class. The whole class stopped, turned, and stared at me like I just killed their cat. Or 2) Not knowing the assault bikes were adjustable. I went a few weeks riding what I thought were little tiny CrossFit bikes. Finally someone came over and set me up correctly. Man did I feel dumb! Favorite lift/movement:Any pull up variation and power snatches. Before I started CrossFit, I could not do one pull up. So it feels damn good to be able to get up and down on a pull up bar, always reminds me of progress. Equally favorite are power snatches. Don’t know why exactly, just like throwing stuff up and down I guess. Lease favorite lift/movement:Burpees followed closely by the assault bike, followed closely by running. Why do you do CrossFit?CrossFit (DE and certain DE Members) force me to do movements and workouts that I would never do on my own, which are areas you generally need the most improvement in and are the most beneficial for you. It takes the guess work out of your fitness programming. It also can be highly competitive, which I love. You track progress, improvement, and benchmarks. There is a great team atmosphere that pushes you every day. People have different areas of expertise or strengths for certain movements, which makes everyone better across the board. CrossFit is a well-round-ed variety of fitness, surrounded with high performing people, and it never gets boring. Who would you recommend CrossFit to?Anyone who needs a change physically or mentally. Anyone who is competitive. Any former athlete in any capacity. Anyone who needs a supportive system or environment to increase accountability. What does Double Edge mean to you?I have told the coaches this, and any new member that may be trying things out, that DE is hands down the best gym I have ever been to. Not only for the fitness portion, but the camaraderie that you build, the coaching that you receive, and the personal achievements you make. The motivation that is provided being surrounded by so many high performing people trying to accomplish similar goals is astounding. It is also as much as of a mental outlet and recalibration as it is physical. DE has become an integral part of my routine, and wouldn’t change it for the world!
