Q) How would you describe EXP workouts to someone else?

A) It is a workout class that varies from day to day, with motivation to compete. If you workout on your own, you will not put the effort in. 

Q) What do you think about your EXP coaches?

A) The coaches are very good. They will motivate you to put your maximum effort in, however, if you have an injury they will set up an alternate workout. They also keep an upbeat atmosphere, and are there to answer questions and motivate you during the workout.

Q)What has been your most memorable experience since you joined?

A) Completing each workout. Every workout is difficult for me, so the next memorable moment will be tomorrow morning at 6:15. I never look at the WOD the night before because I will be thinking it about it at night.

A) All the above things, along with giving  it a legitimate shot. Don’t go to 1 class and stop. You need to try it for at least 3 months.
