What do you feel has been your greatest accomplishment since you started training? My biggest achievement since I started training here was how surprised we can be when we manage to break the PRs and also how it is possible to be consistent and maintain a routine in training. I also learned that when I come here, all my thoughts disappear, at least for one hour of the day. This is great therapy.
