As many of you know we often complete WODs to remember fallen war heroes. I am not sure if many of you know but someone very close to many of our members was killed in the line of duty one year ago today. On Wednesday August 8, 2012 while on foot patrol in Eastern Afghanistan, Major Kennedy was killed by a Taliban suicide bomber. Major Kennedy is a hero of the highest order having given the ultimate sacrifice to his nation. As a nation we grieve the loss of such a distinguished warrior. His friends are working to have an official named WOD but as of now there is not one. Therefore, during today’s WOD we ask that you remember this brave man and his wife and two children that he left behind. The Gilberston, Bullis and Kallos families are close friends of the Kennedys and we just wanted to honor their dear friend on the anniversary of his ultimate sacrifice for his country. Thank you Major Kennedy and we thank your family too.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend this place more, we were new to CrossFit and found this gym very welcoming. The coaches are fantastic and helped me learn build my CrossFit foundation. The members are kind and super supportive. This gym and the workouts quickly became our favorite part of the day. At the same time, the workouts are challenging and fun! Look no further for a good workout in the area.

Danielle was a great coach as well as very responsive and flexible with scheduling a drop in.  I would highly recommend to any crossfiters in the area or travelling through.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After doing crossfit at two other gyms (one box since it opened seven years ago), it was hard to start anew. What has impressed me most about CF Sting is the varied workouts, particularly the movements in the "Skill and Strength." To be honest, some of the movements were ones I rarely did or was not as skilled in. Danielle always has a modification ready so all levels can do the workout. After 5-6 months, I can already see changes in my body and even if the workout looks intimidating, I do not let that stop me from "cherry-picking"--I know that Danielle will work with me, and I am improving at my own pace.  Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was in town for work and dropped in at Crossfit Sting and immediately felt comfortable there. Danielle is a great coach and leader of her gym. Workouts are well programmed and executed. There is plenty of room at the gym and ample equipment! I would drop in again! Thanks Danielle and Crossfit Sting.
