Group Fitness Certified :

Amanda came to one of the intro classes at Corps Fitness in October of 2016. After months of trying to achieve fitness goals on my own, she returned on June 10, 2017 for her first official Corps Fitness Class. Owner, Chris Kaag, made a bet with her and gave her until the end of June to attend a class. By July 4 that year, she was hooked. She started with the Corps Fitness program but soon developed a love for CrossFit as well. “I tell everyone that asks me about CFCFB that I would recommend this to anyone, no matter age or current physical ability. I was inspired by a current member that is in her 70’s. CFCFB is not a gym, it is a community of like-minded people that genuinely look out for each other.” Currently Amanda attends the early morning classes, every morning. In August 2018, Amanda earned her Group Fitness Certificate and began teaching weekday classes in addition to the Open Gym on the weekends.
