Q: What brought you in to CrossFit EXP? My wife and I were always trying different forms of exercise to get into shape. We came across an add for an EXP boot camp offer and decided to give it a shot.  I instantly fell in love with the workouts and intensity. Q: What was your first impression of CrossFit EXP?

Potassium also works to counter-regulate the amount of salt in...Read more
