As a Personal Trainer and a lifelong athlete I was always looking for ways to improve my overall fitness level. Practicing an array of sports, from Surfing to basketball, softball to mountaing biking, I needed to have balance, endurance, speed ,power and flexibility. That's why I was always looking for a training program that would enable me to succeed in all this areas. Then I discovered CrossFit.

My brother showed me the way in my first WOD and I was hooked. I was a mess afterward from it, but it also felt so natural to have such a good workout using little to no weight. After two weeks of following the WOD’s I noticed my body composition changing, my overall health getting better, and my whole fitness level increasing. Shortly thereafter, my actual body structure was changing, spinal/ hip integration felt proper, my posture corrected, gained lean muscle mass, and I carry myself with full confidence, knowing my physical capabilities.

I have truly been excited and inspired by the transformations I am seeing in people. I am amazed at the huge impact CrossFit™ has on peoples’ lives and my life. My clients regularly express to me that the CrossFit™ mentality carries over into their home and work life as well. They are able to stare down adversity and dig their heels in, and when things get tough they take a deep breath and get back in the fight".

On May 18th, I recieved my CrossFit™ Level 1 Certification at Sonz Palm Beach Gardens en Riviera Beach. Joining my brother and business partner as one of the few in Latin America to be CrossFit™ certified.

He says: "When I stumbled across CrossFit™, I was intrigued, but dubious. I liked the approach in theory, but I couldn't believe ten-minute workouts would be enough to achieve real results".  After trying a few WOD's for a week, and saw that he felt as if it was the first week ever of training, he definitely started believing in the CrossFit method of training.

Now he's a CrossFit™ Level 1 Instructor and ready to pass the knowledge to his clients and to spread the word on the most effective type of training out there.
