At CrossFit Bonnie and Clyde here in Colorado Springs, we believe everyone has a story. Some come through our doors looking for a workout. Some are looking for a fresh start. And some — like Linda— walk in just hoping to feel like themselves again.

When Linda first showed up, they were nervous. Out of shape, overwhelmed, and convinced they would never fit into a CrossFit gym. "I almost didn’t come inside," they told us. "I thought everyone would be so much farther ahead than me. I was embarrassed."

But here’s the thing about CFBC — we meet you exactly where you are. Day one, it doesn’t matter if you can't do a push-up, a pull-up, or a burpee. What matters is that you walked through the door.

With the support of our coaches and our community, Linda started small. Modified workouts. Scaled weights. Focused on consistency. Progress wasn’t overnight — but it was real.

Week by week, Linda grew stronger. Healthier. More confident. They started lifting heavier. Moving faster. Smiling more. Showing up even when life got hard — and leaning into the family they found here.

Eight Months Later

Fast forward 8 months, and Linda is a different person:

• Down 25 pounds.
• Running faster.
• Lifting more weight than they ever thought possible.
• More importantly: feeling proud, feeling strong, feeling alive again.

"This place gave me my life back… This isn’t just a gym. It’s a second family. It’s where I learned I could do hard things."

The Truth About CrossFit

CrossFit isn’t just about fitness. It’s about building confidence. It’s about proving to yourself that you’re stronger than the doubts in your head.
It’s about community, heart, and grit — and you’ll find it all right here at CrossFit Bonnie and Clyde.
