I got in and walked over to the whiteboard to read the WOD. Before I could, I heard a voice from behind me say: [...]

CrossFit will Change EVERYTHING

Published on May 2, 2009 By Adam

I’ve been friends with Merle McKenzie from Crossfit USA in Berlin, CT since December of 2009. I have a lot of respect for Merle and the conversations we’ve had have opened my eyes about Crossfit and the limitations of other types of training. It had been on my mind to get in with Merle and [...]
