September 2007 I took a job at the local YMCA. Working in the fitness center and being presented with the opportunity to pursue personal training, I began to realize how ineffective most peoples' training programs were. They wasted a lot of time on machine-based training, inordinate amounts of "cardio", and just possessed and general lack of intensity and focus in their daily training. So I started to look for "out-of-the-box" training methods. It was here I stumbled upon Pavel the kettlebell guru, Olympic lifts, plyometrics, and Gym Jones. Then one day some kid wearing a weighted vest doing pull-ups (@ the YMCA??) told me about a program called CrossFit. He told me to check it out online; claimed the "workouts" were "sick". I went home that night, went on www.crossfit.com, and never looked back!
