I found CrossFit in September of 2008 while going through physical therapy. I told my therapist that I was considering taking up boxing as a workout program. He told me about CrossFit and that if I was looking for an intense workout I should give it a try before picking up boxing. Here it is almost two years later and I do not regret my decision. CrossFit completely changed my life in many ways: I no longer require my physical therapist for my shoulder injury, I have the intense workout program that I was longing for, and it has given me confidence in every aspect of my life. My goal with coaching is to spread the life-changing effects of CrossFit to improve people's lives.

I first learned about CrossFit through happenstance in March 2009 and I'm so grateful that I did. As a former high school athlete, I thrived on competition and after college, that element was missing. My globo-gyms workouts were tough, but I found it difficult to push myself to reach new heights and I began to use work and life as an excuse on why I wouldn't go into the gym. Enter CrossFit. I joined CrossFit Chicago and my world changed. After the first workout, I was hooked and haven't looked back since. I began coaching CrossFit athletes in September of 2009 and along the way I've picked up an Crossfit Olympic Lifting and CrossFit Level 1 certification. I focus on improving each athlete's performance level and I specialize in the Olympic Lifts. I'm an avid flag football and softball player and I have made it a goal to compete in more middle distance runs this year. I will also serve as a judge at the 2010 CrossFit Games Midwestern Sectionals and Rocky Mountain Regionals. You can contact me at: Jonny@CrossFitChicago.com
