WHAT YEAR DID YOU START CROSSFITTING?
2015
WHY DID YOU GET INTO FITNESS (AND CROSSFIT)?
I got bored with all of the bro-science type workouts I would get online and do in a normal gym. When I started training hoping to go out for Rescue Swimming I started looking for new ways to train. Crossfit stuck around as the more well-rounded training style for what I wanted to do.
WHY DID YOU BECOME A TRAINER?
Fame. Glory. To be able to argue with my wife about movements and have a certification behind it. But mostly because the gym is my stress relief, I love going there and always liked when people asked for movement tips. Now I can get paid to do what I already enjoyed doing.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE CROSSFIT MOVEMENT?
Bench press? I don’t think that counts, so even though I suck and my numbers aren’t where I want them to be, I do enjoy the rare occasion when my snatch actually feels like I know what I’m doing.
