"I found the camaraderie I yearned for!" and Jerk Ladder

By: 0

Today’s Member Spotlight is Mark Hersey. Mark is close to celebrating his 1-year anniversary here at Wine Country CrossFit (yep, he joined right in the dead of winter, when it’s SUPER dark at 7:30 pm!! Brave man….), and because Mark is a faithful attender of morning classes and has won many fans with his wry wit and infectious smile, and I want to make sure you all get to know him and his quirky sense of humor!

Mark, the floor is yours!

Age: 49

Occupation: Manager at Good Spirits Beverage Catering
Started CrossFit: January 2013
Why I Chose CrossFit: I bought “Starting Strength Basic Barbell Training” by Mark Rippetoe a few years ago and tried to apply it to my workout at the club. I learned that, alone with a book, is no way to get strong. I knew what I needed, just didn’t know where to get it. At WCCF I found the  guidance, camaraderie, and heartless coaches I yearned for. TGFWCCF!
Other Hobbies: Snowboarding, hang gliding, growing my kids
Go-to WOD Song: Sail by AWOLNATION
Thanks Mark!
