My name is Luke and I'm from Long Island, New York. I have been doing CrossFit for about 2 years now at CrossFit Merrick. I currently attend an American (but highly international) university in Rome, Italy called John Cabot University and I study International Affairs. It took a bit of time but I finally got involved in the CrossFit community here when a gym opened up about an hour north of the city. It was too far to attend on a regular basis but going to the opening event is what got me invited to a CrossFit community competition in Sicily where I had a great time and met some awesome people! I'm currently back and forth between New York and Rome while I attend university here in Italy. Whenever I'm home (generally for the holidays as well as the summer), I continue to train at CrossFit Merrick. While in Italy, I generally train by myself outdoors doing CrossFit style WOD's but without much equipment. Hopefully, however, that's going to change because it seems like at least one or two gyms are finally going to open here in the center of Rome!
