Meet Rob, our Member of the Month! He’s been crushing CrossFit for just under two years, bringing over 15 years of calisthenics experience to the table. Rob thrives on workouts that mix rowing, wall ball shots, and kettlebell swings or carries, and he’s got a soft spot for the assault bike (yes, you read that right!). Introduced to CrossFit by Brooke, Rob appreciates it as a well-rounded fitness routine, far superior to just running, biking, and swimming. Thanks to CFV, he’s grown more confident in weight training, and he’s here to stay, drawn in by the supportive coaches, vibrant culture, and awesome community. And if you’re wondering, he could eat prime rib with loaded mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts every day for the rest of his life. When he’s not at CFV, you might find him relishing perfect snow conditions on a ski trip or revisiting the cinematic brilliance of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
