How did you first get involved with Blitz?
I moved to Twickenham (and actually London as a whole) in January this year, a large of part of which was driven by a desire to be near to my close friends Rachel and Chris Rowland (also Blitz members)whom I’ve known since university. Part of the welcome ‘package’ included a recommendation/insistence that I join Blitz.

How did you first get involved with Blitz?I moved back from NYC to England in 2018 and had never lived in London before. One of the members told me to come along, and I remember coming out of that first sweat class and seeing stars. After I took a break from competitive long distance cycling (I’ve done the Transcontinental, circumference of Belgium and East Anglia to name a few!) I realised I was putting on a few pounds and decided to up my membership to twice a week, then three times a week, now I’m there every day!

How did you first get involved with Blitz?I used to do a lots of hot yoga, and one day there was a girl with a great figure, even a yoga teacher was interested in her story.. so I overheard a conversation about CrossFit, which I had no idea what is it or where the gyms like this are..

How did you first get involved with Blitz?
Sometime during Summer of 2013, I was training at Fitness First in Teddington and doing some thrusters and boxjumps when this nice (but slightly intense!) bloke started chatting to me and told me that he was opening a new gym in Twickenham and that Crossfit would be right down my alley. I had absolutely no idea what Crossfit even was but what Tim said sounded interesting so when it finally went live I signed up for what I believe was the second-ever Foundations Course starting October 14th 2013. I somehow talked my then-girlfriend Fi into joining, too, and the rest is history!

How did you first get involved with Blitz?
I used to be an avid rugby player before breaking the same collarbone 4 times in under 2 years (or 3 times in 9 months whichever is more impressive) which put an end to that. After some time searching for a new way of staying active and being unsuccessful, during some post-uni travelling I met an Aussie couple who would not shut up about Crossfit and they made it sound pretty good. So after a combination of some time being lazy and covid I finally decided to find my local Crossfit which was Blitz.

How did you first get involved with Blitz?My sister had been doing crossfit for a while and she kept telling me that I would love it. In the summer of 2018 I eventually took the plunge. She was right – I do love it!

How did you first get involved with Blitz?
I can't remember how I found out about CrossFit, nor can I remember how I found out about Blitz but I do remember that my first WOD was Annie, 50-40-30-20-10 double unders (single unders back then) and sit-ups. Tim was coaching and coach Wardlow was in the class as was Blitz Crossfit legend Pat Murray, Pat finished when I was still on my round of 40 sit-ups! I couldn't believe anyone could finish it so fast. I can't remember what the time cap was, but I know I got time capped that day!
