Member of the month

Wednesday 31Mar10

For March, we honor a hard-working athlete who has turned it up a couple of notches. Anthony Dayrit came to us with a solid fitness foundation based in endurance running (half and full marathons) and boxing at Notre Dame. Due to his willingness to learn and a commitment to become a better athlete, CrossFit has helped him become a stronger, faster, and more well-rounded athlete. You'll see Anthony around the Lincoln Park box during weeknights and at the West Loop space on weekends pushing and cheering on his fellow athletes. In our interview below, check out why Anthony got into boxing, what he enjoys about CrossFit, why he competed for the affiliate team, and a tip for new members. Once again, Congratulations to Anthony Dayrit for being CrossFit Chicago's March Member of the Month!
