May Member Spotlight: David Thomas

Tell us a little about yourself and what got you on the path to CrossFit…

I realized I wasn’t doing very well keeping up with

exercising on my own so I decided to look for something group-oriented to help

with motivation.

What keeps you coming back each day?

The coaches, the other members and the fact that I feel like I’m getting a little healthier and stronger each week.

What is your favorite at-home exercise to do?

Anything on my cable crossover machine if I could just get my garage cleaned out so I have the space.

If you had to do 100 reps of one movement (not running), what would it be?

Deadlifts

What are 1-2 of your goals for 2022? Have you accomplished any of these?

Eat better and get more sleep. Not yet.

Favorite Lift?

Bench press

Least favorite Crossfit movement?

Burpees

Hometown?

Charleston (Edisto Island)

Favorite Charleston Restaurant?

Kwei Fei

If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be?

Archaeologist

What would you most like to tell yourself at age 13?

Childhood is awkward and uncomfortable but it will eventually be over.

If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet?

Oscar Wilde

One thing about me people would be surprised to know?

That I love answering the QOTD… Just kidding. I’m kind of boring these days so probably nothing.

If the CFJI coaches came to your house

for dinner, what would you prepare?

Something Southern and coastal like Shrimp and Grits, Crab Rice, and Caramel Cake.

Give us a “Question of the Day” to use in class.

Favorite Bruce Springsteen song.
