Testimonials

CrossFit workouts challenge even our strongest members; it’s part of what keeps people coming back for more. This should not discourage those just starting out or thinking of joining our CrossFit community. The trainers at CrossFit Mendota will guide you through the workouts until you know them in and out, and know how to do them safely. Here is what people are saying:

“I think Pat does a good job of trying to take beginners to advanced trainees through the workout each morning. I have noticed a difference since I started the program five weeks ago. I noticed running how I could speed up much more quickly with less effort. I look forward to doing the next six weeks….I laugh most of the class, which makes the workouts fun. I really enjoy the workouts and the comroderie in class”

“I think Pat & Kyle are what sets Crossfit Mendota apart from the other gyms. They show really great attention to detail and do an awesome job demonstrating various lifts and work outs.”

Dana B.

“I have to tell you that I ran a marathon last Saturday. I’ve been a little beat up this week to show up to workouts, but I will be in tomorrow! Interesting though, I didn’t train by running and actually just registered for the race two weeks ago. I think I logged a 10 miler and a 13 miler at most over the past month, otherwise just a couple of 3 milers during the week with my clients. The rest was just my CrossFit workouts with you. I pulled off a PR at 3:56! Pretty sweet! I am excited to keep CrossFitting with you guys and hopefully qualify for Boston soon! You guys are awesome! Thank you for the great workouts!”

Erin K.

“My life has definitely changed. The nutrition is slowly following (especially if I have to get up early 3 days a week). But my lifestyle is slowly turning for the good.”

Eden B.

“Nate and I are SO grateful to be at CrossFit Mendota – it has made a huge difference in our lives and our level of ability and health. Crossfit gets me to try new things and gives me hope that I might actually consider myself as somewhat athletic someday! It is the first time I have truly ENJOYED working out and stuck with it on a consistent basis. The small group atmosphere is great, and I am NEVER bored! Thanks, Pat!”

Cari S.

“Good instruction. Good and fun group dynamics. I feel and notice a difference in my stamina and overall strength.”

Gillet C.

“I’ve tried different ways to work out, and always ended up bored, frustrated not seeing any resuts. I feel excited to keep going on with bootcamp and then Crossfit. It’s so amazing how you combine your workouts to get the all of the muscle groups. I feel stronger, I feel like you have this special key that is unlocking myself, so I can push myself and get through these barriers that keep me stuck. Pat, I never had such a good coach, your manner to teach is calm, you explain things so well, and work with me on my form. I really appreciate how you teach us, how positive you are. Thank you Peggy”

“Hey Pat it’s Mike, just wanted to email you quick to let you know Austin and I were talking today about how much we’re loving Crossfit so far and how we’re probably going to want to do it this winter. Also, how much we respect the program and want you to succeed. We were thinking that maybe you should introduce a testimonial section on your website so a few of us and maybe some of your other trainees could write a few quick things about how great the program is. Just a quick tip. Anyways, see ya tomorrow.”

Mike S.

“When my co-worker referred me to this class, I was very hesitatant thinking that it would be a waste of my money. I was wrong, it is definitely money well spent on yourself. I have enjoyed the encouragement, motivation and variety from the class. I am excited to do the next 6 weeks.”

Anita T.

“I feel that anyone could benefit from this, mentally and physically. My lifestyle has changed so much since last April. The biggest benefit has been how good I feel. The challenges of the workouts leave me wanting to come back for more, even if I feel like I can’t move afterwards . It has been fun realizing what my physical abilities are and to see my accomplishments as time goes on and I build up my strength and endurance…..I love the class I am in and the people in there have become my friends. Everyone is so encouraging and helpful that no matter where you are physically, you will feel comfortable.”

Tricia B.

“I love Crossfit. I just recently signed up and I’m already hooked. I love the sense of community in the gym, the intense nature of the workouts, and pushing myself to get better every day. Pat Costello is not only a great trainer, but a passionate motivator who knows how to encourage everyone individually while simultaneously guiding the group. I would recommend Crossfit Mendota to friends and family of any level of fitness. I can’t wait to get back to my next class to continue improving and working toward my goals.”

Dan L.

“Results baby!”

Pat I.

“Apparently, I owe you a thanks for having me do all those squats. At childbirth preparation class this weekend, they said squatting is an excellent way to get the baby in the right position for birth and a good position during labor. So, thank you!”

Jenny M.

“I really liked the feel of the entire group. All people involved with CFM have great energy and passion for what is Cross-Fit. This is a great program and I really look forward to coming back this summer.”
