Parker Avenue | Maplewood crossfitmaplewood.com I joined CrossFit Maplewood 4 years ago because I wanted a gym where I could get a challenging workout to make me stronger. The instructors are great – they know how to work around my bad knees and back. Plus they watch that my form is right. And the workouts are different every day so I never get bored. I can hon- estly say that I don’t have to talk myself into going to CrossFit. The workouts are addictive and I leave with more energy. -Amy Traynor REAL PEOPLE · REAL RESULTS • Classes for every fitness level • Convenient morning and evening classes • Challenging workouts change daily • Friendly and knowl- edgable coaches • Community building as we support each other GET RESULTS TO LOOK AND FEEL GREAT
