Before CrossFit, Mike was the guy doing bicep curls and leg presses at my local globo gym. A friend of his suggested taking a CrossFit class. At first, Mike would take a class or two a week. He soon became hooked realizing what he did at the globo gym didn’t hold a candle to what CrossFit packed into an hour. After about a year, Mike began to take his training seriously, spending 6-7 days a week at the gym. Here he learned about having proper form, and the fundamentals to CrossFit. As time went on, Mike began to help other members of the CrossFit gym during class, thus resulting in him getting his Level 1 certificate.
The things he enjoys most about CrossFit is that for one hour of the day he’s expected to perform his best, as well as pushing others to do their best. Whether it is an athletes first time doing an un-assisted pull up, getting their first double under or getting a personal record on a lift, it’s moments like this that he believes are the most rewarding part of his day.
