I thought it would be good to journal a little bit about the McGrew Fitness group I lead here in our neighborhood. It's a big part of my life and I'm grateful for this group of ladies that have become my family here.
The group started a few years ago when my friend, Jenn Murch, organized us. We all chipped in money and equipment to be able to workout together. The group gets smaller and bigger as people move in and out of our hood. She set the stage and got us going!
Well, then she moved. So sad. We all wanted to keep it going, so I took it on. Now, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, a group of anywhere from 5-15 ladies come over for a workout. We meet at 8:15 during the school year and 7:15 over the summer (to beat the heat)/.
When people ask what style of workout we do..I usually say it's a combination of Crossfit and Boot camp. We lift, but don't do the more complicated lifts and we do more cardio than most crossfit workouts.
The kids are forced out of the garage and down to the park to play during the workouts. Sometimes there's a pretty big group of them!
This is on our friend, Leah Baugh's, birthday. These ladies really are my closest friends here in Hawaii. I know I can call on them for help and support at anytime. This is no small thing being away from family. I feel so blessed to know them and to be a part of this.
