How did you first get into CrossFit? How did it go?

I live nearby and had seen CFE, I was in horrible shape physically and mentally. I had no interest in going to a normal gym, I knew it would be hard but I thought I would give it a try.

My first WOD I had tears in my eyes and was exhausted, but everyone was so supportive and welcoming i knew I needed to come back.

What sort of changes have you seen in your body, health, and fitness since starting CrossFit?

Everything is better mind, body and spirit. I feel much happier and focused. I am also very proud to say I do CrossFit because it is so challenging.

What impact has CrossFit had on your life?

It’s given me something outside of work that I enjoy. I am overwhelmed by the welcoming culture that CFE has! I really enjoy visiting with the other members and learning from the coaches.

What is your advice for people getting started or thinking about starting CrossFit?

Buy into the culture and learn from your coaches. Get to know your fellow members and enjoy yourself.

What are your hobbies, interests, and other talents outside of CrossFit?

My job is my hobby, I truly love what I do! I enjoy hanging out with my wife, kids and pets. My talents are watching TV, eating and living a life of leisure.
