About Jill Wise

Crossfit has changed my life in a number of ways. I struggled with undiagnosed low-grade depression for years. While I maintained a level of fitness, nothing has made dramatic changes to my mental health like regular Crossfit classes. 

I have also learned to love  and appreciate my strong body. I always struggled with lifting weights because I knew some shirts would no longer fit my shoulders or pants would be too tight in the thighs. Now, I look forward to the next item of clothing donated for those reasons. Above all, I love the sense of community at The Forge. I always look forward attending or coaching a class, 

There are so many things to be thankful at The Forge: the camaraderie, the encouragement, the friendships, the accomplishments. It is my happy place.
