I enjoyed the difficulty of the workouts, the novelty of doing something different everyday, and having a “score” I could compare against others and myself. I pulled all of my workouts off and watch movement video after movement video for exercise demos I wasn’t already familiar with. I was doing most of these workouts in my college weight room or at the fitness center I worked at. Even when he was awake in his pumpkin seat, he seemed enamored by watching me throw a barbell around or jump rope. The short intense workouts were perfect for me to do quickly at work or while my son was napping. I found CrossFit in 2007 around the time my first son, Jack, was born. I was offered a full time position by a local physical therapy and fitness company where I worked for 6 years gaining experience in therapeutic rehab, fitness, and management. By my sophomore year of college I was already working as a personal trainer and gaining experience helping clients reach their health and fitness goals. While I no longer practice as a Certified Athletic Trainer, I use the skills I learned in my degree on a daily basis with our clients.
I pursued a degree in Athletic Training from McKendree University because I knew having an understanding of sports related injuries and rehab would allow me to better serve potential clients later on. That hard work and dedication on and off the field helped earn me a college scholarship to play football, but I was already looking on to my career after sports. Earning a starting position and getting on the Varsity squad were the major motivators for me to work hard in the gym. Back then, I used fitness as a way to progress in my athletics. I grew up in the gym watching my dad own and operate his own fitness center from a young age, and as I began training myself, I fell in love with fitness and capitalized on opportunities to increase my knowledge. I knew I was going to open a gym when by the time I was 15 years old.
