| With Owner/Coach Jim Fischer |
But before we came up, we contacted a couple of boxes here in Erie about dropping in. My sister, Em, had gone to 3 Ring/CrossFit814 last week for it's grand opening and had also heard there was a box at Nautilus and found out it was called Big Fish. Then there's the original box, FBO, as well, but we ended up going with Big Fish yesterday since Emmy lives close to Nautilus and she wanted to try out a new one with someone; plus it was a Team WOD day, which is a great thing for a newbie to try out!
Jim Fischer, as pictured here, is a really wonderful guy. He's passionate about CrossFit and the idea of community and fitness. He didn't charge us a drop-in fee and made us feel right at home. He has 6 certifications himself, has 4 coaches, and between all of them they have 23 certifications.
The facility is pretty new and very well done. It's within another gym, something similar to the RAC, but much smaller, and the box area is actually where racquetball courts used to be.
Chad and I were put on a team with Drew and Travis, "two young studs" according to Jim. We had a great time plowing through the WOD together. Emmy was on another team with some other guys and seemed to have fun doing so as well.
Boy did we SWEAT. It was a good one!
