From the age of 18, I have worked out typically with a combination of weights and cardio and some form of circuit training. It was not until December of 2007 when I found a workout that was tailor made for my fitness goals. I have been a firefighter for the past 18 years and my fitness goals have always been geared toward functionality for my profession, not only to look fit.
I was introduced to CrossFit from a co-worker and right away I knew this was the workout that would bring me to the fitness level I wanted for maximizing firefighting performance. I started CrossFit workouts on my own, getting them from the website and doing the best I could from the video demonstrations. I soon found out that I needed some help getting the lifts and the moves down as to not injure myself. This is when I found Chris’s information on CrossFit.com and set up a meeting; good decision! Chris gave the information and inspiration that I was lacking when I was working out on my own.
Chris is full of information and extremely good at giving easy to follow instruction in a motivating way. He is great at keeping you honest! Shortly after working out with Chris I responded to a fire and was involved in the fire attack. I noticed right away that I had more energy and was less fatigued at the end of the fire compared to fires that I had fought prior to Crossfit. I have been with Chris for six months and always look forward to the next workout. If you are looking for a life changing fitness program, Crossfit is the workout and Chris is person to make sure you get the very best out of the program. Rick Smith, July 2008
