CrossFit 2024

Let’s hear it for our March AOTM…. Fahad!!!

Fahad jump started his CrossFit journey back in August of 2021 and has been crushing WODs ever since! He is an awesome athlete and always works so hard to reach his goals! Fahad loves working hard in the gym to some EDM mixes to keep him hyped.

Coach Jared and Jamie both agreed that, “Fahad has been really fun to watch in classes over the last few months. Something clicked recently in Fahad that made it obvious he is out to accomplish his goals. I suddenly just saw him pushing himself harder than he ever has. It was really cool to see the push and how much he’s improved over the last few months.”
