Australia
Chris Gander
I'm Chris 'Goose' Gander from Newcastle. My first taste of the CrossFit life was way back in 2008 when it first came to the shores of Sydney, Australia. It was a different beast back then, competitive as hell and cheap as chips. It got a bit crazy with injuries and the prices sky-rocketed, so I dropped out and moved on. I returned to the world of CrossFit at the end of 2017, bored after years of running and working out in my garage gym. I needed more. I wanted a challenge. I craved competition. I slotted back into the life like I never left. I compete now to test my limits and push myself harder. I'm a new Dad so I don't want to slow down and let fatherhood consume me. CrossFit helps me stay fit and healthy, with a positive outlook on life, making me a better Dad - and that is really what it's all about for me. See you on the leaderboard!
