Games Perspective from CrossFit Watertown - "The CrossFit Games are this weekend. You know that already. There’s a pit in your stomach and you’re not even competing in them. How the hell can that be? How can you be so wrapped up in an event that your stomach is churning for something you will watch starting on Friday? What is this thing we call CrossFit and what has it done to us? How do we even describe what is going on here?" READ MORE........
: 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!
Way to go Shaz....that's awesome !!! Kx
