I discovered CrossFit like so many others, by stumbling across an old CrossFit Games video on YouTube. Seeing freakishly strong humans, not only lifting crazy weights, but being able to run, move, swim and perform gymnastics. It took me a while to make the change from regular lifting to CrossFit but I've never looked back. Funnily enough my first real CrossFit training started the day Shadow Valley opened. I worked cleaning the gym and just helping out until I became a qualified CrossFit Level 1 coach. I now love coaching almost as much as training, and hope to achieve just as much through coaching as competing as an athlete. For now I'm just trying to enjoy training but I shall see where it takes me.
