Best Gym in Wilmington, MA

"A couple of years ago, I was heading in a self-destructive, downward spiral. Somehow, I woke up and climbed out of the darkness. I stopped self-medicating, mastered nutrition, and joined a gym. CrossFit Ares keeps me focused and disciplined. Most importantly, CrossFit Ares is a community I never had but clearly needed. I am in the best shape of my life, happy, and I am just beginning."

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

If someone asked you about CrossFit looking to possibly join, what would you tell them?

It’s a really supportive environment and there are adaptations for every level. It’s really accessible and fun!

How has CrossFit changed your life?

CrossFit has been a game changer for my mental health. I was experiencing some bad anxiety and depression over the last few years and both have reduced. I feel my old confidence coming back. My mindset around weight loss has shifted. It’s not so much about what I look like but more about what I can do with my body. Very happy I started CrossFit!

"Other than the obvious physical benefits of consistent movement (and that’s really what it’s all about for me… movement), it has also shown me that age truly is just a number. I will turn 50 in June, after years of injuries and memories of the glory days of sports from my youth fading, I started to feel like it was all downhill from here."

If someone asked you about CrossFit looking to possibly join, what would you tell them?

Don't be intimidated by what you think you know about CrossFit. There's a good chance you'll be pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable and helpful it is to be surrounded by positive and accepting people while working out. It makes it fun - even on the hard days - and feeds a consistent routine.

How has CrossFit changed your life?

It has helped me redefine success, appreciate little wins, and accept that being in shape in my 50s won't look like it did in my 20s AND THAT'S OKAY!"

If someone asked me about Crossfit…

I’d say do it. We are all created to do good work in the Earth. Our physical health is essential if we want to approach life with the necessary zeal, energy, and capacity to accomplish good works in this world for the rest of our days. The methodology of Crossfit, and in particular the coaching at Crossfit Ares, equips our bodies for that kind of meaningful work.

If someone asked you about CrossFit looking to possibly join, what would you tell them?

Please do it! If you're nervous, let me know. I'll come to your first class with you. The reason the gym hasn't "fallen off" for me or become something it has every time before, is because CFA isn't just about movement. It's about the people and there are so many good people here. Come do cool shit with us!

How has CrossFit changed your life?

No matter how I slice it, this is going to sound cheesy. I'm not going to say CrossFit did it, because it didn't. CrossFit Ares did it.
