Crossfit Norwest, Raw strength and conditioning and Barefoot Evolution Discussion Forum

G'day guys and girls are you able to post a brief profile for the games here if you are competing? I will put these up under the link for the CrossFit Games on probably Sunday. It doesn't have to be much nor that formal. Just name, age, crossfit experience, general sporting back ground. A few lines and we'll put it up with a few other guys from a few other boxes!!! Get writing guys

Name: Tom Vale
Age: 20
Crossfit Experience: 5 Months at CFNW
Sporting Background: Was massively unfit/out of shape until halfway through year 12 (2006). Started doing a bit of martial arts which got me interested in being more physically active. Left martial arts after a year and did some training in globo gyms though it was always sporadic and I'm not sure I' ever trained consistently for a period longer then 4 months.
Crossfit has changed all this, I've been coming for at least 4 sessions a week for 5 months and have seen massive improvements in every aspect of my fitness. Loving training out at CFNW because we've got a great facility and a great crew to train with!
