Athlete Profile

Name: Colin Meronuk

 
Hometown: Vancouver, BC, Canada

 
How long have you been CrossFitting? Since July 2009

 
What is your favorite WOD/Exercise? Running, Deadlift, Rope Climb

 
What is your least favorite WOD/Exercise? Thrusters, Burpees

 
What is your previous workout/athletic background? I played baseball and did track up to high school.  After that, pretty much just a string of short lived stints at the gym trying to “get back into shape.” (Oh boy, it’s “arms and legs” day.)

 
What was your first experience of CrossFit like? I got my ass handed to me on a free Saturday trial of Fight Gone Bad.  I figured I’d give it a month and see where it went.  Haven’t looked back.

 
What results have you seen since CrossFitting?  I surprise myself on a regular basis by being capable of things I never thought possible.  I never pictured myself doing a pull-up, now I can do them with a giant kettlebell on my toe.  I can lift the equivalent weight of a full-grown lion off the ground .  I’m stronger and faster than ever, and I’m still moving forward instead of accepting the general notion that getting older means getting weaker.

 
What’s your favorite aspect about working out at CrossFit Cayman?  The comradery and shared positive mentality of the trainers and members.  Trying to push the envelope and take myself to a new level.  The huge variety of workouts that keep me from ever thinking of getting bored.

 
What advice do you have for someone thinking about joining CrossFit Cayman?  I can’t think of a Billy Mays pitch that encompasses Crossfit.  Just try it for a month and if it’s not your cup of tea, then no biggie.  Is it hard? Yes.  But, so are most things worth time and effort.  Oh, and take fish oil.  It works.
