🍀 June Member of the Month: Jason! 🍀
Since joining in 2020, Jason has become a pillar of the KSCF community — consistent, coachable, and always bringing good energy to class. Whether it’s a tough WOD or a mobility drill, Jason puts in the work, listens to feedback, and finds creative ways to push himself through any obstacle. His steady progress and positive attitude have not only been noticed by our coaches, but appreciated by everyone who shares the floor with him.
Outside of class, Jason is a familiar face in our social circles — always down to catch up after a workout and never one to pass up a well-earned pint. Proudly representing his Irish roots, he brings that signature blend of grit, wit, and warmth to the KSCFam. We’re lucky to have him as part of our crew and excited to celebrate all the ways he shows up — both in and out of the gym.
Sláinte, Jason — this one’s for you! 🍻
Most of my athletic background has centered around watching rather than participating. I dabbled in a variety of team sports when I was younger but never took any of them very seriously. Later in life, like everyone else, I decided to take an interest in running and ran up to a half marathon but after moving to the US lost interest and much to the annoyance of my downstairs neighbors did the Insanity and P90X workouts. During the pandemic I lost interest in exercise and really embraced my true interests, eating and drinking which led quickly to me getting out of shape and stumbling upon CrossFit in late 2020. I really enjoy the variety of exercises in CrossFit and have embraced the ability to learn new skills. Even though I no longer enjoy running, I enjoy the Murphy style workouts the most, as it doesn’t require as much skill and I get satisfaction from seeing the daily strain rocket on the Whoop app. I have got a lot of satisfaction from improving my front squat, when I first started CrossFit I couldn’t even access the front rack position easily and I have seen consistent improvements in this exercise. I hate burpee box jumps! Enough said!
After the 7.15 class in the morning is the only time I really show dietary restraint and have an apple with peanut butter, a banana, an orange and a yogurt. The main reason I do CrossFit is to minimize the negative effects of my main hobby outside of CrossFit, eating and drinking around the city and around the world. Besides that, I love going to the movies and attending a wide variety of different types of concerts. I think my main goal is to stay injury free and to keep improving. Getting a ring muscle up would be very satisfying and after working with the excellent coaches at KSCF, I know that if I focus on a skill I can definitely improve. Except for overhead squats, I don’t think I’ll ever get better at those!
Here is a picture of me hiking a volcano on the big island in Hawaii.
