Great story!...inspirational... Neighborhood Crossfit, that's what it's all about!..that is the true sense of community that Crossfit is constantly trying to convey. They got it right there... Camp Lawton, awesome! Named after Capt. Garrett Lawton, USMC, my cousin. RIP brother. Comment #2 - Posted by: Peaches CCT at June 28, 2012 6:47 PMAwesome and inspirational. Keep it up Tim! We're always here to keep the support :D Comment #3 - Posted by: Aaron S. at June 28, 2012 7:09 PMThat is cool! I have neighbors that are showing an interest, already have them eating paleo and losing weight, hope it turns out that they drink the kool aid and join me and my wife in my crossfit garage gym.

Comment #7 - Posted by: Colin at June 28, 2012 8:09 PMAwesome story and video! Comment #8 - Posted by: Tony Blauer at June 29, 2012 12:03 AMOh Camp Lawton!!! I flipped many a tire around that camp in 2010-2011, I jumped on those exact boxes more than a few times as well. Memories, Memories. Comment #9 - Posted by: Bubbalito at June 29, 2012 5:24 AMLoved the video. I'm from Portugal, I'm a cop, the first time I did Crossfit was when I went to Texas to take my Swat School with a fellow officer and good friend and I loved it. I recently started crossfiting again but there is no Crossfit culture here despite the fact there are already several Crossfitters working out on regular gyms (like me). Hopefully in a near future I can put up a video here about the first affiliated Crossfit box in Portugal or at least in Faro.
