Jennifer VanBrooker, of Carbondale, performs a clean and jerk, an Olympic lift, Sunday during a workout at CrossFit So Ill. VanBrooker said being a CrossFit member is unique to a regular gym membership because it’s a community of people. “Everyone does the workouts together, and we push and motivate each other,” she said. “After a long day at a desk job, I get to come and workout with my friends in a great environment.” Tiffany Blanchette-Daily Egyptian
