Success Story: Meghan

We are so proud of Meghan Reeves for all the hard work she’s done to achieve her goal of passing the fire academy test! Meghan came to us with this specific goal, and we designed a combination of private and group training to get her where she needed to be to pass this test.

Here’s her story in her own words:

“I trained on my own for a year before going to the fire academy.  I ran, lifted weights, stretched and threw a 24-foot ladder around.  I trained but, lacking expertise, I didn’t train the right way and I wasn’t strong enough to beat the drill time limits at academy. ‘You have heart and know the drills, but you need to take a year off and gain 20 pounds of muscle then try again.’ That’s what the Captains told me when I mustered out of academy after five weeks and just two days before graduation. So, at the urging of a co-worker (Spittler!) I joined an On Ramp class at CrossFit Santa Rosa.

The difference was astounding!  After six months of regular CrossFit followed by six weeks of one-on-one strength training (Shane!) I went back to fire academy and smoked it!  There is no substitute for expertise, and I thank the coaches at CrossFit Santa Rosa for utilizing theirs to make me a better cadet and help me graduate.”

Fantastic work, Meghan. Congratulations!
