Today I’m talking with Zac Courtier about the basics of CrossFit. Zac is the manager of Bark River CrossFit inside BeFitness in Delafield, WI. Zac is a great resource to learn more about CrossFit, as he has experience as an every day CrossFit athlete, a CrossFit competitor, a CrossFit coach, and now the manager of a CrossFit box.
Specifically, Zac and I discuss:
- How he initially got involved in CrossFit
- What he’s learned as a CrossFit athlete and coach
- Why do people get involved with and stick with CrossFit
- His experience with the CrossFit Culture
- The difference between the CrossFit Games and your every day CrossFit box
- How beginners can get started with CrossFit
- Tackling the myth that CrossFit causes injuries
- What he’s learned through his own training
- His upcoming fitness goals
Zac is an awesome guy and great coach that can move some serious weight, and even grow a killer mullet. I really enjoyed this conversation and I learned a lot about CrossFit with Zac. Even if you aren’t interested in CrossFit, most of the advice that Zac shares is relevant to anyone that is training to achieve a specific performance or wellness goal.
