2009 marked our first Nutrition Challenge. Out of 31 participants, 26 followed through to the end of the 4 work challenge. The rules were simple. You must have before and after assessments/measurements done and a willingness to meet with an assigned coach about your nutrition. Keep in mind these results were achieved by nothing more than participating in regular exercise and following basic whole food nutrition principles. Something the coaches at CrossFit Michiana work hard to instill in all of our athletes.

The winners were determined by a vote of all gym members after reading the testimonial wall and seeing the results posted there as well.

Our latest success story shows the diversity of the CrossFit Michiana programming. Instead of the usual weight loss, Carl approached me at the end of December about putting on 5-8 pounds of muscle for the up and coming spring rugby season.

My husband had begged me for years to join the forces of people that worked out. It was something I just never tried. I didn't need to work out, I felt fine, I ate whatever I wanted and I still fit in a size 10 that wasn't so bad. The average American is a size 10 right!? Well, one day I woke up and that size 10 started getting tighter and tighter. So when he sent me the e-mail advertising Michiana Bootcamp for Women I thought to myself "Well what is four weeks, I'll workout for four weeks, get back into those clothes, and be done with it!" Boy was I wrong!
