Three years ago, Shasta walked through the doors of ReUnited and stepped outside her comfort zone. This week, she got her first handstand push-ups.
Three years of showing up. Three years of getting stronger. Three years of finding her people.
Shasta shared what ReUnited means to her.
“3 years ago I reluctantly stepped out of my comfort zone and walked through the door of ReUnited to try out my first CrossFit class. After having 4 babies and spending more than 10 years focusing all of my energy on them and neglecting myself, I was not only out of shape but also felt like I had lost myself somewhere along the way. I remember being so worried of what everyone would think of me, that they would all be watching me; judging me. I’m not really sure what I thought I would get out of going, other than to hopefully lose a few pounds and maybe get some energy back. But I can tell you that what I found was more than I ever expected. My progress has not always been easy. I’ve made leaps forward only to take a few steps back again. But, no matter what the scale says, no matter if I finish a workout first or last, I keep showing up, and even look forward to it each day, because ReUnited has done so much more for me than just help me get back in shape. Over the last 3 years I have learned new skills, hit new PR’s, lost some weight, gained some muscle, gotten stronger, healthier, and finally feel like myself again. But maybe even more significantly; I found a community of people who root for me, who push me, who celebrate my wins with me, and who have become lifelong friends.”
