Joe
Coach at CrossFit RTV

I first came across CrossFit® in 2009 and started by following “mainsite” wod’s in a commercial gym, I got some very strange looks but at the time there were under 10 CrossFit® gyms in the UK, none of which were close by. My background previous to this was mainly competing in MMA and also racing downhill mountain bikes, but CrossFit® had me hooked. Luckily in 2010 CrossFit Bournemouth opened and I was straight in as an early member. By 2011 I started coaching classes. I had previously been working in the fitness industry since 1995 (yes I’m old). For over a decade I have been coaching CrossFit® in various boxes and to this day still love watching and being a part of members hitting new PB’s and learning new skills. The fact the classes are suitable for beginners and more advanced athletes goes to show how adaptable CrossFit® is.
