I received my CrossFit level 1 certification in 2008, and am currently the owner of the CrossFit NRG gym in south Salt Lake.  Running has been a huge source of success in the CrossFit realm .  I currently wear a pair of the Vibram 5-finger shoes for every CrossFit workout and enjoy the freedom they give my feet and the overall contributions they have made to my improved balance, flexibility, strength and agility.  I dedicate myself to teaching others and embracing their true physical potential.   I have competed in the 2010 CrossFit Sectional and Regional Games pitting athlete against athlete in a contest to decide true general physical preparedness through olympic lifting, metabolic conditioning, and gymnastic movements.  I placed 22nd out of 80 in the sectionals, and 41st out of 65 in the regionals. Please visit my website www.crossfitnrg.com for a full explanation as to how I can help you in the future with your running and/or any other physical fitness needs.  Embrace your potential!
