I started Crossfit in 2015, participating in my first open within 6 months of joining. I was blessed to have joined a gym where we have sent athletes to the Crossfit Games every year since 2011 (except 2017). I was not a college athlete, I had not been "active my whole life." Prior to joining Crossfit Adrenaline, the last time I was in a gym was 1978. I couldn't overhead squat a PVC pipe, (no mobility) and a 250 meter jog left me exhausted (no aerobic capacity). It was hard at first, but 6 years later I've qualified for the games 3 times (masters were cancelled in 2020) and stood on the podium in 2019 and 2021. The point is, not everyone will achieve this level of fitness, and not everyone wants to, but I'm living proof of what Crossfit can do.
