3:50 Lisa Scotto started to work out after her father sat her down and told her she needed to make some changes to her lifestyle. She told her story of how she became “fit,” but how her definition changed after finding CrossFit. Scott explained how she came to understand that CrossFit wasn’t enough without nutrition, and she described the steps she took to reach her performance and body-composition goals. Scott detailed how she created Nutcase Crunch as a healthy alternative to breakfast cereal.
37:00 John Durocher described how he started CrossFit in 2006 by doing WODs in a Globo Gym. He then heard about CrossFit New England and paid Ben Bergeron a visit. He explained what it’s been like to see CFNE grow and transform into what it is today. Durocher travels with his job and is fortunate enough to have visited over 25 different affiliates around the world, and he spoke about working out at the various boxes. Durocher also gave advice on balancing a busy schedule while still CrossFitting religiously, and he described his experience with the Reebok CrossFit Games Open as a Masters athlete hoping to qualify for the big show.
