I have been doing CrossFit consistently now for a little over a year. I was previously a competitive swimmer for 15 years and competed at the division I level in college at the University of Connecticut. One of my swim coaches in high school was a CrossFit trainer and he taught me the important of lifting with good form and helped open my eyes to how CrossFit could aid my sport. I would do CrossFit with my mom during the summers and whenever I was home for breaks in college and fell in love with the community and challenge it provided. CrossFit has helped me tremendously through my transition from being a college athlete to my post grad life. It provides me structure, a competitive atmosphere, and most importantly a welcoming and supportive community which makes going to the gym my favorite part of my day. I love how CrossFit is inclusive, adaptable and can provide benefit for people of all ages and ability levels. My 80 year old grandmother even tried CrossFit prior to the pandemic! I look forward to sharing my passion for CrossFit with others and showing members how special it is to be apart of the CrossFit Sturbridge community.

Kenny has been doing CrossFit since 2014, drawn in by the camaraderie, variety, and intensity it had to offer. His favorite movements are snatches and muscle ups since they push you just as much mentally as they do physically. He finally decided to become a CrossFit Level 1 instructor in 2022, eager to share his passion with others and to make the CrossFit experience approachable, safe, and rewarding for all members- no matter their skill level!
