Congratulations to Bryan, our Mischief Member of the Month for November, 2023! Since starting CrossFit almost two years ago, Bryan has been consistent and seen many accomplishments. He has hit many new strength PRs along with continuing to improve his cardio through long workouts. Bryan has also been able to recover after suffering a terrible injury- breaking his collarbone over 6 months ago, and has gotten back into routine to keep improving.
What motivated you to start CrossFit?
It was the end of 2021, the pandemic shutdown was starting to wrap up and Clarice and I were looking for a healthy activity that we could do together
How long have you been doing CrossFit?
I started in late November of 2021, so almost two years now. Not counting time off for work trips and hurting myself...
How has CrossFit improved your daily life?
I notice improvements in all aspects of my life. I feel stronger and faster when playing sports, I'm less winded when playing with the kids and dogs at home, and I catch myself checking my form when lifting heavy objects at work. And I definitely sleep better after CrossFit!
How do you stay consistent with your training?
I'm very routine oriented. I try to build at least an hour of gym time into my schedule every day. After the first month or so, it has just become a part of my life.
What do you like most about CrossFit Mischief?
The coaches. Everyone there is very knowledgeable and helpful. They give me the confidence to attempt lifts that I would have never tried on my own.
What is one goal you hope to achieve with joining CrossFit?
I want to complete the Memorial Day Murph workout in 2024
Favorite CrossFit exercise?
Anything but box jumps! Seriously though, over the past couple months I've noticed that I can complete exercises that I've never been able to do before like climbing the rope, pull ups, and toes to bar.
Favorite healthy snack?
Dried mango slices
Favorite cheat food?
Pizza! Every Friday is pizza night and I look forward to it all week
One Interesting fact about yourself?
I've worked in more than 10 countries in the last 10 years
