“Let me tell you something: People think [CrossFit] is about these crazy guys that are in phenomenal shape; no. It is for everyone. I’ve met men that were 5’9″ and 400# who in six months, they’ve lost 150 pounds doing CrossFit. And a sensible Paleo diet. It is about diet and exercise. CrossFit is the wave of the future. I don’t care if you’ve never done a sport in your life; this is the place to be. I don’t care if you’re sedentary. I don’t care what your excuse is… injuries? I’ve got injuries. We work around it. They modify it. And it is the most welcomed that I have ever felt in any gym, anywhere; and I’ve been in gyms ALL over America; and I feel so welcomed at every single [CrossFit gym] I’ve been to. And I am so excited to be here.”
