“Simply put, I am in the best shape of my life!”
Jon is a 43 year old husband, father of two great kids, scuba diver, photographer, Star Wars nerd and CrossFitter that started. Jon as a personal programming client, who came to the gym in 2014 thanks to his wife, Julie. Here is a little more about Jon’s story:
“I have always been involved in sports since I was a kid and have always been fairly ‘athletic’ and considered myself ‘fit’. I could run a mile or 5K with little to no training, I can hit a baseball or tennis ball, catch a football, kick a soccer ball, do a few pull ups or push ups, no problem. I can now, at the age of 43 (going on 44) run faster, jump higher, lift more weight and do some pretty cool gymnastic moves that I would have never even tried a few years ago….The biggest difference I see in myself is confidence, inside and outside of the gym. When I began this whole CrossFit thing, I would see the workout and think to myself, ‘This is going to be terrible, no way I can this’. Now, I know I can do it. I think to myself, ‘Bring it on, I got this!’. Outside the gym, I know that if I can survive ‘Fran’ or ‘Cindy’ or any of the other workouts, I can handle most situations
