How long have you been doing CrossFit?
I’ve been doing CrossFit for 9 and a half years.

What is your favorite workout or exercise?
I particularly enjoy barbell cycling workouts paired with rowing—especially when they're structured as interval workouts with some rest time included so it is easier for me to follow the younger ones!

What is your least favorite workout or exercise?
Workouts that involve running are my least favorite, which was not the case a few years ago. That said, I’ve realized it’s an area I need to work on, so I’ve committed to running a half marathon in December.

What is your previous athletic background?
I have a background in hockey and bodybuilding over the years, also played tennis. Since 2019, I’ve participated in several CrossFit Masters competitions across Europe.

What was your first experience at CrossFit Cayman like?
I vividly remember trying to impress Jason with my deadlift. Unfortunately, I loaded too much weight because I didn’t follow his advice—lesson learned! Sorry, Jason!

What results have you seen since joining CrossFit Cayman?
I’m pleasantly surprised that I’ve maintained my strength levels, even though I train less frequently than I did back in Luxembourg and realized that I need to improve in running.

How do you mentally prepare for or get through tough workouts?
I review the workout the night before and plan my strategy. In the morning, I identify one or two people in class to pace myself with so I can get the most out of the session.

What’s your favorite aspect of training at CrossFit Cayman?
It truly is the best hour of the day. Regardless of the time, training alongside such a supportive community is an incredible way to start the day. I'm especially fortunate to be able to work out every morning with my wife.

What advice would you give to someone considering joining CrossFit Cayman?
CrossFit Cayman can genuinely transform your life. Trust the process, show up consistently, and you’ll find both the coaches and the community ready to support you every step of the way.
