What motivated you to start CrossFit?

I was in Taekwondo as a kid growing up in Canada and the owner also used the gym as a CrossFit Gym. I saw these workouts all the time and it's been a long term goal to sign up myself. I just moved to the US and it seemed like the perfect time to meet people and finally start working out in a group setting.

How long have you been doing CrossFit?

Three months

How has CrossFit improved your daily life?

I definitely, definitely sleep better after being tired out from a workout.

How do you stay consistent with your training?

I'm a big routine guy. Getting it into the routine is the hard part but once it's scheduled I don't consider bailing if I'm tired.

What do you like most about CrossFit Mischief?

All coaches have been very helpful pointing out form tips. I'm new to many of these motions and struggle with flexibility, so the consistent coaching attention has been excellent.

What is one goal you hope to achieve with joining CrossFit?

I don't care how long it takes, I want to be able to do one muscle up and one handstand pushup.

Favorite CrossFit exercise?

High endurance requirements where my flexibility can't hold me back, such as box jumps or double-unders.

Favorite healthy snack?

One Banana every morning. Easy, tasty, and apparently inflation proof - they're still less than 60 cents.

Favorite cheat food?

Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

One Interesting fact about yourself?

I've been singing and playing guitar my whole life, with an emphasis on classic rock.
