Ross, United Kingdom, newwave_crossfit: “How I started CrossFit and my first session: I was watching Netflix one night in November 2016. I found “Fittest on Earth” (from) 2015, the year Katrin and Ben won. I watched that documentary and thought it was literally the best thing ever… (and I) immediately googled the closest box. 

“(I) traveled the next day and got booked into a fundamentals class. I turned up at 6:55 a.m. the following day and, unfortunately, witnessed the 6-a.m. crew ripping apart the workout all looking like animals 🙃. 

“Then I attended the fundamentals. It was good being taught how to move properly and actually coached (since) it was my first experience. Then we had a met-con — just a short 7-minute AMRAP of Assault bike cals, sit-ups, and KB swings. I got on the bike and was shouting at the coach over telling him the bike was broken as the calorie number wasn’t moving. He was like, ‘No, it’s just like that!’ I was like, ‘Omg, this is hard work.’

“And then, in my fundamentals, an older woman in her 50s was just kicking my ass in the workout, like so far ahead. I’m like, ‘This woman is super human.’ This was her 10th fundamentals before she graduated to be able to attend regular classes. I’ve honestly never been so humbled. 

“I was honestly hooked. I had decided when I watched “Fittest on Earth” that I wanted to go to the Games and nearly nine years later, that dream is about to come true!”
