Annie 'pocket rocket' Sakamoto - one of the trainers in Santa Cruz where Taz is hanging out. By the way, this is what 'full hip extension' is supposed to look like!

: LOUISE FOLEY - "I've never been this lean, strong and fit in my life! It made me think about what I was like before...... My idea of a good workout then was a 20min run around the block, 3x a week. I was too intimidated to walk into a weights room. I had chronic back pain. I didn't want to do squats and deadlifts because they were "manly". I think getting my first chin-up is what got me hooked... And the best part of all is that I've still got heaps more improving to do!"
: DANIEL SADLIER -I just wanted to pass on how stoked I am overall with crossfit. I am starting to notice additional muscle, particularly on shoulders and arms where I have been unable to make any progress in the past given that I had been carrying my shoulder injury for so long. That definitely helps motivate me to keep coming along in the early mornings.
: NICK LINTON: Out of 120 applicants, I had the fastest time on the Firefighter Job Scenario's Course. The functional, 'old school' workouts at Crossfit NZ are what I believe have given me the edge. Thank you for helping me discover what Crossfit is all about, correct my techniques and to really push my body to its limits and beyond!
Hey guys - I'm relatively new to crossfit, just curious what it means by '10 Thruster 40/30' - obviously I need to do 10 thrusters each round but what is the 40/30 bit? Cheers!

That's the weight in kilograms.
40kg for men, 30kg for women
