“It’s hard to articulate my experience with Crossfit Haymaker (CFHM) and what the community has meant to me personally, but will try to tell you what I’ve learned below. I do invite you to not just take my word but just come see for yourself because it’ll be immediately apparent."CrossFit is for Fit people" - You do not have to already be at some arbitrary level of fitness to show up and do crossfit. I was never an athlete growing up and never learned to work out. You’re going to be sore after trying something you’ve never done, give it a week and keep moving. The coaches at CFHM will help you on your form, help you scale appropriately and meet you where you’re at - Whether that’s where you’re at overall physically or where you’re at that day mentally. The people who look like scary fit athletes want you to succeed and do your personal best, they’ll cheer you on no matter what you’re doing.Mental wellness - The mental fortitude you develop by showing up and tackling a challenging workout is immeasurable. You prove to yourself that you can do hard things that you never thought you’d be able to and it translates to other aspects of your life.Constantly varied & programmed for you – I get to roll out of bed, show up without thinking and just do the workout on the board that the coach is telling me to do. It’s never the same and I don’t get bored. Also if you want to switch it up there's other variety of class offerings like yoga, gymnastics, etc.Group accountability – half the time I show up because it’s like hanging out with friends. Friends that sweat together stay together. People will notice if you’ve gotten off track and check on you to make sure you’re okay. If I show up to another class that’s not my usual one I’m still welcomed, spoken to and included by the members in that class. I’ve tried out so many other types of gyms where no one has engaged in a conversation or made it seem like a community which just made me realize how great and welcoming CFHM is.COMMUNITY – its truly a community not just a gym. The coaches and members care for each other, service and leadership to others and are just overall amazing people to surround yourself with and look up to. Want a girls dinner? Lets do it. Want to do a community fundraising event? Yep! Competitions? Lets go!”

“I have been coming to the Warsaw YMCA for a few years and have always enjoyed lifting weights and swimming. My winter goal in the pool was always to hit a mile. This is a good goal for me as I am not the best swimmer. This all changes for me. My husband and I have scuba diving for 32 years all over the Caribbean with our dive friend. It’s always the first week of November. Our last day , last dive for the week I ended up getting decompression sickness. We got flown to mercy hospital in Miami where I ended up with total body paralysis. It turned into a stroke. I was in the decompression chambers for eight days 5 1/2 hours each day. Where you could not drink or eat or move. This was extremely hard for me. This has been one of the hardest things for me to go through. We are now back home in Warsaw where I am going to occupational therapy twice a week and doing my exercises three times a day. This week I felt good enough to start going to the YMCA. Tuesday I lifted. The feeling I had lifting weights is hard to explain. Just two months ago I had total paralysis all over my body. The YMCA in Warsaw makes me feel alive.It strengthens my soul as well as my physical body. Wednesday I swam. I was very apprehensive about swimming as I didn’t know how my left arm would do. The water and moving my arm was an amazing feeling for me. I will never take working out at the Y for granted anymore. I was in tears walking out the door. I give all the glory to God for my healing. My left arm is what I have to work on as it is my dominant arm. Thank you for letting me tell my story.”

“Equipment is a little outdated place is a little run down and the bathrooms/shower are not too private but it has everything you need for a good workout . Nice people who seem to keep to themselves. Fun items like battle ropes are there. Things seem clean and sanitary. Hydromassage is pleasant but your membership costsmore to use it and it cuts you off at 2 ten minute sessions even if no one else is waiting. Fair amount of hardcore gym rats for inspiration”
