Let’s be honest.

You’ve tried things before.
A gym. A diet. A new routine.
And maybe it didn’t stick.

Maybe the vibe was off.
Maybe you felt out of place.
Maybe it just didn’t work.

That’s not your fault.

Most fitness spaces aren’t designed for real people. They’re made for the already-fit. The already-confident. The already-motivated.

But what about the rest of us? The tired moms, the busy dads, the ones who want to feel better but are scared to fail again?

That’s where Areli was.

She Tried CrossFit. And She Hated It.

Seven years ago, Areli walked into a CrossFit gym — not ours.
It was cold. It was cliquey. It didn’t feel like her people.

She gave it six weeks.
She left.

But something inside her still wanted to change. And when her sister Samantha invited her to try CrossFit Fiend, she hesitated… but said yes.

Everything was different.

The energy. The coaching. The community.
Areli didn’t just feel welcomed — she felt seen.

“I Couldn’t Even Finish the WOD”

Her first week was emotional.
She couldn’t complete the workouts. She was sore. Frustrated. Embarrassed.

But this time… people encouraged her.
They high-fived her. Cheered her on. Told her she belonged.

And she believed them.

That was the start of something life-changing.

A Mom on a Mission

Areli is a mom of four.
She used to put everyone else first.
But when her health started slipping — when she realized she was exhausted, stressed, and relying on medication just to get through the day — she knew something had to change.

She made her health a priority.
Not just for herself — but for her family.

And that’s when the ripple effect began.

Her husband German joined her.
Then their 13-year-old son.
Now their family works out together, eats better, and genuinely enjoys being active.

They walk. They ride bikes. They laugh more. They show up for life with energy.

That’s what this is about.

Not just lifting weights. But lifting each other.

“If You’re Scared… I Get It.”

Areli has a message for anyone who’s been burned before:

“CrossFit is for everyone. The workouts scale to your level. You don’t have to be fit to start — you just have to start.

What surprised me most wasn’t the workouts — it was how much my mindset changed. I gained confidence. I had less stress. I felt stronger in every way.

If you’re scared, I get it. I was too. But CrossFit Fiend changed my life. And it can change yours.”

The Truth About Transformation

If you’ve failed before, you didn’t fail.
You just didn’t find the right guide.

That’s what we are at CrossFit Fiend — not just a gym, but a guide.

We believe in community, coaching, and small steps that lead to big wins.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to show up.

Areli is living proof.

She’s not a superhero. She’s just someone who gave herself one more shot — and found the place that finally got it right.

You could be next.
