In June 2010, I started crossfit to get in shape and prepare for emergency services physical abilities testing, specifically to join QLD Fire and Rescue. Before I started training with Rob Noy and the crew at Crossfit Crossaxed, I was toping the scales at 114kg, I could deadlift about 80kgs, and I could not run 5km without stoping a number of times. My strength was not good, I could not even do a single pullup, my VO2 Max was terrible with a score of level 3.8 on the beep test. I could not do a double under with a jump rope nor even think about completing any workouts at the prescribed weight or rounds. To make things worse, I could barely get through a typical warm up and did my first workout with a broom stick for front squats... About 6 months down the track I jumped on the scales and weighed in at 97kg, I can now complete a large number of workouts as perscribed and my record for double unders is 131 unboken, and 171 in 2 minutes. I can deadlift 160kg, run 5km in under 25 mins and complete strict pull ups. Crossfit is amazing no doubt about it! There is not a better strength and conditioning program out there. Rob was always encouraging and I have made some life long friends within the Crossaxed gym. The constantly vaired, fuctional movements at high intensity is a receipie for success what evert your goals may be, weather it is sport, work, or just life in general, don't let this great opportunity slip by.
