Meet Member Brent

Name: Brent H.

Age: 28

Occupation: Software Developer

Previous workout/exercise history before starting CrossFit? High school sports, weight lifting, adult rec league sports, waste of money gym memberships, etc

CrossFitting Since: Technically at a box since Jan 2012, but I used to do Crossfit workouts on lunch with a crew from work.

How did you learn about CrossFit Sting? I went to CFOTM with the Pecora ladies and followed them to the best box ever. (We didn’t pay him to say that, I swear! I think you forgot to mention that you attempted to workout and continue your CrossFit in your own garage box, bought all the equipment and then let it collect dust. It’s just not the same WODing alone. We are so happy that you and Ashley kept in touch and believe in us.)

Was it love at first WOD? Pretty close. I hate going to the gym and just working out so the intensity and idea that someone was making my workouts for me pulled me in quick. I am also secretly competitive so being able to push myself is much easier in the WODs.

Favorite WOD or movements? Joshua, kettlebells, deadlifts, cleans, wall balls (I think you forgot rowing, kettlebell snatches, rowing, and oh yea did I mention rowing?)

Least favorite WOD or Movements? Burpees, inch worms, double unders, man makers/renegade rows. (I think for this you forgot to mention any lift where there is squatting especially overhead squats!)

Favorite CrossFit Sting moment? Pretty much every day. It’s what I look forward to doing every day after work. Not just working out but the community and people at the gym. I’ve never seen someplace be so encouraging to everyone regardless of skill/ability. Danielle and Jessica always put up with my BS too which makes for some fun times, especially when it comes to music. 🙂 (We can put up with your BS since you continue to make such nice comments and are always willing to help us out around the box.)

Why do you CrossFit? To stay healthy, live longer/better quality of life, and for my future kids and grandkids. I want to be able to be 60+, still playing sports with my kids/grandkids and be able to run around and play with them as much as possible.

Tell us something new about you that we don’t already know? I used to play pro/college paintball… yea random huh.

Cannot recommend this place more, we were new to CrossFit and found this gym very welcoming. The coaches are fantastic and helped me learn build my CrossFit foundation. The members are kind and super supportive. This gym and the workouts quickly became our favorite part of the day. At the same time, the workouts are challenging and fun! Look no further for a good workout in the area.

Dropped in for a few classes during the holidays and was very happy I chose to come to Crossfit Sting. Danielle was a great coach as well as very responsive and flexible with scheduling a drop in. I would highly recommend to any crossfiters in the area or travelling through.

After doing crossfit at two other gyms (one box since it opened seven years ago), it was hard to start anew. What has impressed me most about CF Sting is the varied workouts, particularly the movements in the "Skill and Strength." To be honest, some of the movements were ones I rarely did or was not as skilled in. Danielle always has a modification ready so all levels can do the workout. After 5-6 months, I can already see changes in my body and even if the workout looks intimidating, I do not let that stop me from "cherry-picking"--I know that Danielle will work with me, and I am improving at my own pace. Thank you!

I was in town for work and dropped in at Crossfit Sting and immediately felt comfortable there. Danielle is a great coach and leader of her gym. Workouts are well programmed and executed. There is plenty of room at the gym and ample equipment! I would drop in again! Thanks Danielle and Crossfit Sting.
