His addition to the MP CrossFit family has been nothing short of exhilarating, bringing both fun and an infectious enthusiasm that enhances the experience for everyone at the gym.

We asked Jeff the following questions so that you could get to know him better.
My first ever experience with any CrossFit was three years ago at Festivus Games. I didn’t know what the lifts were, so I had to Google them. I have been actively coming to MP CrossFit for about six months now.
My favorite thing about MP is a toss-up between the community at MP and the coaching. I just can’t overstate how much I appreciate the coaching. It really means a lot to me. All the people that I have met at MP CrossFit are so friendly and encouraging. Everyone remembers my name and I have always felt welcome.
CrossFit has helped me to hold myself at a higher standard on the Hyrox movements. My overall strength has improved since starting CrossFit, which is hard to believe given my age! I feel like I have more power, which is really helpful in Hyrox.
My favorite movement is the squat clean. I’ve come so far with those, and while I still have a lot of work to do, I can get deeper in the hole than I ever thought possible. My least favorite is burpees. Those will always be my least favorite until the day I die!
At 62 years young, I still ride skateboards, go to the skatepark to skate in the bowls!
