“I heard that some ice hockey players had converted to CrossFit and wanted to know what the fuss was all about.”

Gabriel took his first CrossFit class in the spring of 2021, and it was love at first sight. As an ex professional ice hockey player, he got a jump start and has then not only become a competitive CrossFit athlete and a CrossFit coach, but a strength and conditioning coach for an U18 ice hockey team.

Gabriel is a big fan of the CrossFit methodology and the fact that CrossFit suits everyone. “But still, the best part in my opinion is the community. It’s much more fun to work out in a class with others that cheer you on than then alone in a public gym.”
