“10 Months ago, I “crutched” along into my beloved HV Tribe CrossFit box, looking to make a change in my life after breaking my ankle during basic training. I was warmly welcomed by Barry and Diane, who were the first people I met at CrossFit. Barry’s sense of humor and his love and passion for HV Tribe CrossFit totally sold me. I’ve been bit by the CrosFit bug ever since! It’s crazy to imagine the person I was then to the person I have grown into. I have improved my endurance, strength, and conditioning so much over this year. I’m in better shape now than I was before I got hurt. CrossFit changed my life. I feel happier, stronger, and faster. I’ve met some of the most amazing people! I “crutched” in broken but left stronger than I have ever been before, empowered and ready to take on basic training and Valley Forge Military College!”

“I just joined HV Tribe CrossFit in June 2018 on the recommendation of a friend. I have type 1 diabetes and needed to get my health back on track. In just a couple of months of working with the trainers here, I have been able to reduce the amount of medication I need and get my blood sugar numbers back in line. I’ve lost weight. I feel 100 times better. This week I was able to do 3 pull ups – something I have never been able to do before. I have better focus and more confidence.”

“I’ve been at HV Tribe CrossFit for over 7 years, joining after stopping in one day. My goals were to lose weight, be able to do more physical activities, and have better mental health. During the time I’ve been here I’ve seen significant progress on all these goals. I like the guidance the trainers give each member. The accountability is good too, otherwise I’d just slack off at home. It’s important to me to keep up with my grandchildren.”

“I’ve been with HV Tribe CrossFit since early 2018 after a New You Challenge. In 4 months of working out I have more energy, I sleep better, and feel better. I’m toning up this old body and getting back to my youth! This is a very friendly group to work out with!”

“I joined HV Tribe CrossFit in May after stopping in one day. In just a couple of months I have lost weight and become stronger and feel better. I love the variation of exercise each day. It’s much better than the boring workouts I was doing before. People are very positive and we have lots of fun too!”

-June E. age 57

“After participating in the New You Challenge and working with Barry Chait, I stayed on at HV Tribe CrossFit in the Master’s class. During my time here I have gained mobility and strength and better health. I have also gained friends and a love of teamwork. Here you work at your own pace, but continue to push yourself just enough with the trainer’s help. It’s important to me to stay healthy for my grandchildren!”

-Craig M. age 64

“I have been at HV Tribe CrossFit since fall of 2017. I joined the Master’s class to lose weight and regain my health. In a few short months I have lost weight and gained strength and endurance. It is a great program for any age group and should be mandatory for men and women over 50 years old. A perfect way to fight off Father Time. The trainers are very experienced and willing to work with you anytime.”

-Bruce M. age 61

“I have been doing CrossFit at HV Tribe CrossFit Master’s program since October 2017. I joined through the New You Challenge and stayed after the 6 week program. I am in much, much better physical health including coordination, strength, endurance and balance. My mental health and attitude is overall much improved. The coaches are all outstanding and take a personal interest in each member. It’s truly a family that looks out and cares for each member.”
