March 2011 Fitness Challenge Winners

CFAMP saw a TON of progress and lots of PRs in our lifts and benchmark WODs through the month of March.  These 3 Amplify members scored the best improvement points on their challenge workouts and nutrition logs. Nice work Nathan, Carrie, and Matthew!

 

Congratulations, Nathan!

Just 17 and already a beast. Keep up the amazing work.

CrossFitting since: December 2010 Got hooked because: My brother convinced me to try it and it was awesome. Favorite Lift: Back Squat LEAST Favorite Lift: Full Snatches Favorite food or snack, currently: Anythinginthefridge that is healthy. Advice to people just starting to CrossFit: Listen closely to the Trainers. They know what they're talking about. I get my inspiration from: My body is God's temple and I should take care of it. A competitive spirit helps. If I could have ANY superpower, I would: Influence everyone’s minds to see the truth of God's Word and accept the sacrifice of his son.
