One month shy of her CrossFit birthday, Denise Roby passed her Level One Test. I had the opportunity to do her On-Ramp last October, and it was awesome to see the improvement she has made in such a short time. She is consistent in attending classes (multiple classes in a day even) and is dedicated to conquering her weaknesses. All the patience and hard work has paid off. Congratualtions Denise!
