"Four Diablo Coaches and I attended the Working with Larger Bodies Seminar – and we’re blown away by what we didn’t know and by what we learned. The knowledge gained and the eye-opening experience will pay interest for many years – to our coaches, our community and especially to larger body athletes who walk through our doors."
- Craig Howard, CrossFit Diablo
"We were absolutely blown away by what we didn't know and what we learned."
