How long have you been at CrossFit West Houston? Started fundamentals in April – real classes in May.
How long have you been CrossFitting (if different or applicable)? N/A
What brought you to CrossFit West Houston? A friend is at another box here in Houston. She knew I was trying to get in shape and not happy with results on my own. I was looking at other gyms, programs and classes then she told me how much she has improved doing CF and convinced me to give it a go. I came in to check it out – watched a WOD and took my intro class. I have been hooked ever since.
What did you do for exercise before CFWH? Ultimate Frisbee, sporadic kettlebell, athletic band exercises and random weightlifting.
What do you like most about CFWH? The people are amazing. everyone is so encouraging and pushes you to be awesome.
What is your favorite CrossFit move/exercise? The Olympic Lifts and Kettlebell stuff. Big fan of the strength training since i’m not the best at cardio. Oh and of course the sledge hammer swings.
What is your least favorite? Really? Buck Furpees :-p But im getting better at them so they dont make me cry quite so much.
What were your goals when you started CrossFit? I need to lose a lot of weight – that was the original goal.

Early man was low on the food chain more prey than predator, and yet from sundown to sunup […]

We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

This is what Crossfit is all about! It’s been awesome watching aaron transform the last few months and it’s been a pleasure to have him in class. No complaining, no whining about the wods, he just comes in and goes to work, attacking every single wod with everything hes got that day. I can’t wait to see where he’s at in a few months or better yet another whole year. I would tell him to keep up the hard work but there’s really no point. It’s not even an option to him.
