posted by: ruth
Started CrossFit: January 2011
Favorite Movement: Bench Press
Least Fave Movement: Pull Ups
Favorite WOD: the KBS/GI Jane Couplet
Least Fave WOD: The PC/T2B/WB workout
Best CrossFit Accomplishment: When he saw a business acquaintance for the first time in 6 months and was asked, “Wow, have you been working out?”
CrossFit Goals: Better attendance!
David found us in January and fit in right away with his sense of humor and readiness to heckle members and trainers alike! During his first month, he quickly got the hang of the camaraderie and cheered on fellow members even as he was struggling for air.
Every newbie has that moment somewhere in their first month or two where they discover how much they can truly push themselves. I distinctly remember this day for David. It was a pistol wod and I remember seeing the determination in his eyes as he gutted through ’til the end. His workouts have been that way ever since.
David’s catering company, David’s Events (located here in El Segundo), keeps him busy around the clock but in his free time, he can be found skiing, traveling, and spoiling his two beautiful daughters. Looking forward to seeing what this next year has in store for you David! Happy Birthday!
