Meet Rahim

What brought you to CrossFit Closer?
I moved back from Boston in 2013, where I was just getting into crossfit training. My friends told me to try it out because they knew I was sick of the regular pump and dump gym. I ended up really enjoying training so when I moved back, I knew I needed to find a Crossfit gym. I found Crossfit Closer near my home and went to test it out. Turns out it was the best decision. The people were supportive, the coaching was excellent and the atmosphere was fun. It was truly a place where I could grow (pun intended).

What is your proudest moment so far?
My proudest moment so far in my training is 4 cycled bar muscle ups! BOOM! Took me like 3 years to do that.

What has been your funniest experience at CrossFit Closer ?
I would say this would be funnier for observers; When I was first starting out, I was doing banded pull ups and the band slipped out from my feet and wedgied my man bits! It definitely took my breath away! I think that is a right of passage in Crossfit.
