What do you like to do in your free time?
Spend time outdoors with my wife and our kids. Cook, golf, bike and snowboard.
How long have you been a member at CrossFit Verve?
A little over a year.
What is your background in sports and fitness?
Played football and wrestled in high school, wrestled for two years at a Junior College in Iowa.
What changes have you seen in your body, health and fitness since starting CrossFit?
Overall I just feel much healthier and more energetic. I’ve lost 25 lbs. (with the help of The Paul Buono nutrition program) and am stronger than I’ve been in years.
Has CrossFit influenced your life outside of the gym? If so, how?
Definitely. I find myself trying to make better “lifestyle” choices so that I can perform up to my full potential in the gym.
What’s your favorite benchmark workout?
I had to look this up and I’m glad I did because I was going to say Murph. Isabel looks fun. That being said, I really like workouts with a run or row component that are super long and vomit inducing.
Any advise for someone just starting?
Be patient, be consistent, push yourself but work within your constraints, don’t worry about how much weight everyone else has on the bar. Just do you, scale appropriately and eventually you’ll be where you want to be. Oh, and take guidance and suggestions from the coaches, they know more about this shit than you do.
