Now, on to other business! Today’s Member Spotlight is Jim Brandt! Jim is a regular 8-am attender, and has had some really amazing changes happen in his life as a result of including CrossFit and the Paleo Lifestyle into his busy schedule. Let’s hear from Jim about his successes!
Age: 54 (feel like 35)
Occupation: Owner – Napa General Store
Started CrossFit: August 2011
Why I Chose CrossFit: I believe CrossFit chose me. Was seriously just driving down Jackson one day and saw these loons doing crazy stuff in a garage and thought I had to check it out. Since joining CrossFit, and with the help & encouragement of the awesome coaches and my work-out partners, I’ve had to buy a new wardrobe and answer a lot of questions about my “diet” and “strange eating habits”. My general response is that I’m not on a “diet” but have changed my lifestyle. God bless Beth and everyone at Wine Country CrossFit.
Other Hobbies: Hiking. Skiing. Drinking wine & astral projection.
Go-to WOD Song: “If I had a hammer” by Pete Seeger – no, wait it’s “Khatmandu” by Bob Seger. Don’t know how I get them confused.
Thank you Jim! Congratulations on all your accomplishments!
