I recently joined the employee Wellness Challenge over the past 6 weeks. It was a great way to jump start my motivation and accountability. I was able to rebuild habits I had let go of. The app was easy to use and it was all asynchronous and done on my own time - a huge plus working full time with a toddler at home. I enjoyed reconnecting with old friends at 696 and will be looking into further nutrition coaching.

I'm so thankful I joined CrossFit 696. The coaches are amazing, focusing on proper technique and form, which makes learning new exercises outside my comfort zone fun and motivating. Doing things I never thought possible keeps me excited to keep going!

This 6 week work challenge was a great eye opener to living a healthier lifestyle with having to give up everything. The support has been amazing, the app is easy to navigate and I will definitely continue on this wellness journey! Thank you for an amazing experience!

The Employee Wellness Challenge has been truly enlightening. I was excited to join this year after seeing the results my co-workers achieved last year. Two healthy habits that really came into focus for me were improving my water intake and making better nutrition choices. Planning meals and snacks, being mindful of portion sizes, and focusing on overall nutrition have been a game changer.I would encourage any employer to bring a program like this to their staff. The support it fosters - not only among participants but also from the team at CrossFit 696 - makes you want to do better. The timing was especially meaningful for me, as I was turning 60 and ready to make a serious commitment to my health.Since starting the challenge, I’ve joined CrossFit 696 and am excited to see where this journey takes me. A special shout-out to Coach Mare and all the incredible coaches for their support and for helping me become a better version of myself.

CrossFit 696 is awesome! I feel safe and supported during workouts, and the equipment and facilities are excellent. for someone returning back to the gym, I felt welcomed and supported. This is more than a gym, it’s a community of support!!!Coach Chris is awesome, and really makes it a welcoming space for everyone in Gardner.

Coach Matthew is knowledgeable, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. He’s engaging, supportive, and really attentive to everyone in the class. I especially appreciate how he checks in before the workout of the day to see if anyone needs modifications. It shows that he’s paying attention and wants to make sure everyone feels comfortable, included, and able to get the most out of the workout.~Chels
