There were a LOT of wins in May. 💪🔥

This past weekend, Coach Kirsten and I spent time learning from some of the best minds in the fitness industry at the Two-Brain Business Summit. One conversation in particular sparked a decision that we're incredibly excited about.
After extensive research, discussions with industry leaders, and a deep dive into what will best serve our members, we've decided to make a significant change to our programming beginning June 15.
This decision wasn't made lightly. It comes down to one thing: providing the best possible coaching and fitness experience for our community.
Want to know why we're making the change and what it means for you?

At 42 years old, I've owned CrossFit Durst for nearly 12 years, but my first CrossFit experience? It was terrible.
I felt intimidated.
Out of place.
Like everyone belonged there except me.
I walked away convinced CrossFit wasn't for people like me.
A few years later, I gave it one more chance at a different gym and everything changed.
The coaches remembered my name.
They taught me how to lift.
They made me feel like I belonged.
That experience shaped the entire vision for CrossFit Durst.
For the last 12 years, we've worked to build a gym where beginners feel welcome, women feel supported, modifications are respected, and nobody feels like they need to "get fit first."
I recently sat down and shared the full story—from marathon runner, to burnt-out endurance athlete, to CrossFit coach and gym owner.
If you've ever wondered who I am, why I opened Durst, or why I'm so passionate about helping women build strength and confidence, I'd love for you to read it.

And thank you to every single person who has been part of this crazy journey. The best chapters are still ahead. ❤️
