YITZY KNOPFLER
"Yitzy began his CrossFit journey with us six months ago. Although he did not have much fitness experience, his consistency and commitment to learning new skills, along with hard work has paid off. When Yitzy started, an air squat was challenging. Today he is back squatting 165lbs for reps. As one of his coaches I have personally watched him progress in all domains of our CrossFIt program. He comes in everyday with a positive can-do attitude. Although he doesn't say much he has quickly become a staple amongst our community. Keep working hard and good things will continue to happen! -Coach Chris
