MATTHEW
“Matthew has been part of our Teens program for almost 9 months now, and has been such a great addition to our community! I will never forget Matthew’s first day, he was shy and nervous, but eager to do well and willing to put in the work to learn. He always comes to class ready to work and never gives up! Matthew is a real team player and has grown immensely, he is so much stronger in both confidence and ability! He is a pleasure to coach and I’m so proud of his growth. I can’t wait to see him continue to develop as an athlete! Congratulations! Way to go Matthew!" -Coach Amena"

What do you enjoy most about CF?
CrossFit is a very fun way to keep fit and train all muscle groups.
When did you start CF?
I started CF in December 2023.
What was your first CF workout?How did you feel after?
I remember that for my first CF workout, we learned how to do a Thruster, a combination of a barbell front squat and a push press. I felt happy to be able to perform the exercise. The next-day soreness was very welcome and rewarding!
What is your favorite movement?
My favorite movement is the muscle up. It is very challenging, but it makes me feel accomplished after a good workout.
What is your favorite game?
My favorite game is the Pizza Game, where you hold an AbMat as if it were a pizza, trying to knock somebody else’s pizza down. The punishment for dropping the AbMat is doing a few burpees. Very fun!

Because of CrossFit, I feel more confident, more fit, and more productive.
What were your goals when you started?
When I started, my goal was to kickstart my fitness journey in a fun way.
What are your goals for this year?
My goals for this year are to continue working on myself, staying fit and healthy!
