Steve and Larissa

One of the most inspirational aspects of Crossfit has been the energy and support of fellow Crossfitters (strange to be considered one).  The people at Crossfit La Mesa have been incredibly supportive, yet push us just enough.  Regardless of looking like dorks or being the slowest of the group, we have never felt inferior for screwing up form or felt we were looked down on for asking a zillion questions.  In truth, the opposite has occurred.  Our Crossfit partners have cheered us, helped us pick up and select the proper weight, helped put the equipment away, but most importantly encourage us to do more every day.    

Steve R and his wife Larissa some of the first people we met at the gym.  They are terrific people and extremely inspirational.  With few exceptions, they also get up way too early and go to the gym.  Steve is hilarious and makes us laugh.  The amount of weight he lifts is ridiculous.  Larissa is quiet, extremely friendly and solid.  I love seeing her walk into the gym aside from her infectious smile, she is uplifting and encouraging.
