Colby from CrossFit Champions and a fire fighter for The Woodlands in Texas had this to share...
“Crossfit has made such a difference in my fitness level. We had a fire yesterday, I put it out and ripped down all the tin exterior walls. I did this and was only breathing heavy at the very end of my work and my low air level alarm never went off! All this while 2 other firefighters had to go to rehab because they were about to puke! I really love Crossfit.
Here is a video of me doing some of the wall rippin'! This was after I put alot of fire out in the back! Oh yeah, the porch roof I was standing on had collapsed earlier and was slick from the water, if you are wondering why I wasn’t walking much.”

A hearty congratulations to Shannon for passing the firefighter Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) on December 1st (after just a couple months of training with CrossFit Eastside). Through a combination of consistent CrossFit classes, more focused CF-style personal training, and independent work (including climbing stairs with a 75-pound weight vest), Shannon set herself up to rock the event.
