Adam Morden Rocks!

Adam Morden Rocks!

I met Adam Morden a little over two years ago when the Steel City Crossfit opened. I was introduced to both the program and the “Coach” with a free one month trial as my women’s gym was moving to a new location. As someone who is uncomfortable in the standard gym atmosphere, and in particular group exercise programs, I was skeptical. It didn’t take long to become hooked on the Crossfit way of life, and I believe that for me this was mostly because of Adam.

Adam is the best coach/trainer I have ever met. He truly believes in each person he coaches. His enthusiasm is infectious, even through the pain of a “hellish” work out; his sense of fun makes you want to come back for more; and his never ending encouragement makes you try harder and do better every class.

Coach Adam has helped me become leaner, stronger, and healthier; while at the same time helping me believe in myself, push myself harder and build my confidence right along with my strength. I am a petite woman, 36 years young, who used to smoke and eat very unhealthy food on a regular basis. I started rock climbing 10 years ago and fell in love with it, but quickly found my “wall”. Adam and Crossfit have helped me get past this physical and mental barrier to become a stronger, more confident climber.

Adam has convinced me to try many new types of workouts and exercises – all of this leading to a new addiction. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that now I can complete 25 pull ups consecutively, dead lift 255 lbs, and bench press 115 lbs. I look forward to an evening with “Fran”, “Angie”, surviving the “Filthy Fifty” and the “300″. I am not the easiest person to encourage and push through difficult tasks – but Adam takes the punishment and the reward with an eager grin and unending patience.

Thanks Adam. You will forever be one of my favorite people. To you, everyone is a superstar. You help us shine!
