B.S., Exercise and Sport Science I CrossFit because it is the most efficient and fun way to develop overall physical competence. I still love to compete and this gives me an outlet to do so. It is fast, efficient and has gotten me in the best physical shape of my life! I started a CrossFit box in Ames because I wanted to share this phenomenal program with everyone I know! The group of trainers and athletes at CrossFit Ames makes me excited to come workout and hang out at the box every day!
