How did you get exposed to CrossFit?
I had been hearing about Crossfit for years when i lived in Roanoke VA. I was always interested in it.
What brought you to CrossFit Midtown?
In June 2015 i moved to ATL. Neal Jamison told me about CFM and I gave it a try.
What was your very first day at CrossFit Midtown like?
The first couple of WODs were overwhelming. It struck me how, on paper, they didn’t look that hard. But, once I was doing the WOD, it could get real ‘spicy’ real quick, to the point were i didn’t think i would be able to finish.
What changes have you seen in your overall health and fitness level since starting CrossFit?
More flexibility. Increased endurance.
What kind of changes have you you experienced since starting CrossFit that were completely unexpected?
Cross Fit makes fitness fun. The longer i do CF, the more motivated i am to make improvements in my overall fitness.
Favorite WOD:
Anything with power cleans.
Least favorite WOD:
Anything with box jumps.
Favorite CrossFit Midtown moment:
Doing Murph at Piedmont park on Memorial Day of 2016.
Hobbies, Talents and or Interests Outside of CrossFit:
Like watching college football. Like collecting Taco Mac beer glasses.
Advice for new CrossFitters:
Take it slow. Give yourself 3 months to get acclimated to the WODs. If you hang in there, you will get ‘hooked’.
