Ryan Fox

Years at CrossFit Carolina Beach: 8

Height just makes the burpees harder. Pull-ups, too!

How long have you been at CFCB?

Eight years. Jade is the only one who has been here longer!

What accomplishment are you most proud of?

Just showing up every day. A three hundred pound back squat is great and all but you always want more.

What would be your namesake workout?

Ooh – I really like Fight Gone Bad. Its painful in a good way.

What is your biggest goal for the next year?

To not hurt myself. The older I get the easier it is to tweak things.

What is your most recent PR?

I hit a heavy squat clean recently. 265 pounds. That’s the heaviest in three years since I hurt my wrist on a 300 lb attempt. And I got a legit 500M row PR at 1:23 last fall.

What do you love about CFCB?

Love all the people. It’s a good community, good people. I go to lots of different time classes so I think I know almost everyone.

What are your activities outside the gym?

Disc golf, that’s about it. Working and playing disc golf. That and playing Pokemon Go… I’m a gigantic nerd!

What is your favorite meal?

Steak and potatoes. Mashed, fried, baked, twice baked, sweet… anyway you want to put ‘em to me!

What is a random fact about you?

I have webbed toes. (takes off shoes and shows me – it’s true!)
