I work pretty hard most of the day and since I’ve been training here at CrossFit Movida, I’m finding it a lot easier to do the job. I’ve had such fairly extensive operations on my knee just to remove cartilage. I would regularly get a sharp pain because I don’t have that lateral cushioning in there anymore. But since I’ve been training here it hasn’t happened once. Not even when I’ve been a little careless at work and moved to the side. And that on it’s own is fantastic.
I’ve been going to CrossFit for five months and absolutely loving it. I find it is one of the most enjoyable forms of exercise I’ve ever done ’cause it’s always different – challenges you in so many ways. It’s not just doing weights, it’s not just doing cardio. It’s just a mix of movements and different excercise that you do everyday that makes it worth coming back to every time.
Well I only started CrossFit probably like a year ago, so overall I just wanted to get a lot stronger and leaner. And also sort of refine some skill work and get my first muscle ups and that sort of thing. A lot of skill-based stuff and working on technique to refine. Yeah, I have heaps of fun the whole time.
The best thing about working with Sam is that I think that Sam has gotten to know me both personally and from a gym perspective. He knows what I don’t like to do – and he makes me do them, which is good. He pushes me and he makes me work really hard, but also very genuine, and I couldn’t speak more highly of Sam. I think, out of many coaches that I know, I think Sam understands the body and injury really well and it’s definitely shown results for me.
