My first CrossFit Workout
This was my first CrossFit workout at RedShed. Needless to say, I had never been upside down, had never done a double under and certainly could not power clean 165# but we all start somewhere. I was lucky enough to discover my love and passion at a young age. CrossFit and the broad field of Strength & Conditioning is something that has always intrigued me, and in 2011 I stumbled upon RedShed CrossFit. I instantly fell in love with everything about it and knew that I wanted to be involved with the Shed somehow. Pat told me to go through the L1 certification and a month later, I became a coach at RedShed. Back then, there were no AM classes, no sign-up board or scheduled class times, no Basic Training, no intro session. You come in and want to train? Here's the WOD and here's how to do the movements. That is what happened on my first day at the Shed. Times were simpler back then and although it is sometimes extremely difficult to move on from the past, especially if it has a lasting effect on us, it will only create and foster growth.
I thank all of you for the amazing years that I have been a part of RedShed. Thank you to all of my fellow coaches! Please continue being awesome, motivating, and inspirational leaders. Please always LEAD BY EXAMPLE and never get complacent! Thank you to the Neill's and the Kelmer's for being amazing mentors, bosses, but most of all - friends. Thank you for never losing sight of what the Shed is all about. I love RedShed and everyone under the RedShed umbrella will always hold a piece of my heart. See you tomorrow.
