Our latest Member of the Week is Carissa, a cosmetologist and student from North Reading. Carissa is new to CrossFit—she’s only been doing it since March of this year—but she’s already feeling the positive effects! Says Carissa, “Since joining CrossFit Exclamation, I not only feel stronger physically, but mentally as well. It helped me put things in perspective and keep an even mind throughout the day.” Carissa says her biggest milestone so far is being able to finally do full pushups. We’re so happy to have you as part of our CrossFit family Carissa! We can’t wait to see what other milestones you hit!
