April Athlete of the Month: FRANCISCO AVILA

Congratulations to FRANCISCO AVILA for being April’s Athlete of the Month. 🙂 See his personal testimonial below.

“I have been at CrossFit XLR8 since February on 2013 and to me it has been a great experience and I have been able to prove that I can do what I put my mind to. With the help from all the coaches there I have been able to improve my life and my health.

Going into CrossFit I knew what it was and sort of how it worked. But little did I know that everyone there will treat you as a longtime friend. And since I am not from this area being a part of CrossFit has allowed to settle in better into my life here in Portland. I believe that I have chosen the right CrossFit gym to work out and has been a great experience.

I can remember how I used to drag my feet to workout but now I am eager to get to work out every day after work. Every day that is a rest day, it is painful to just watch the day go by without getting into the gym and giving it my all.

Thank you everyone at CrossFit XLR8 for your support and encouragement.”
