One morning, three years ago, Dave Fichera woke up and realized how unhappy he was with his entire life. He was overweight, out of shape, and knew something had to change.
So he got on the treadmill, and started running. Before long Dave was running outside too, first a half mile, then a mile... and then, he was a runner.
Fichera had read about Crossfit in the past, but wasn't 100% ready to jump in with both feet. Dave was content being a runner, until he walked into Crossfit Legitimus 9 weeks ago, and realized something else was missing. Jen Conlin.
Fichera credits Jen, and the Legitimus family, for helping him move beyond running alone, to begin Crossfitting; improve his strength, and actually really enjoy it! In a little more than 2 months, he has lost 35 pounds, and almost 3 inches off his waist. Dave is amazed by how quickly his fitness level has improved, and even hopes to compete within the next 6 months.
Dave says he loves each and every workout, even those with burpees. Like most people, Dave came to Legitimus for the fitness, and is staying for the love. He, like everyone else, is amazed by how supportive and sincere our community really is, and so appreciates the love he gets from all sides of the box. Crossfitting at CFL has become a part of Dave's daily dose of sanity, and he hopes to be able to continue wodding for years to come.
Dave is a positive addition to the Legitimus family, and is always cheering on other members, helping them through their wods. Dave also killed it in the Paleo Challenge, winning the prize of Most Improved Male. He also deadlifts a small house, and is consistently adding more weight to all of his lifts... keep your eyes on this guy, he is improving daily!
Welcome Dave!
((Contrary to what the Crossfit Kids may tell you, Dave is a licensed clinical massage therapist, NOT a garbage man. He is currently offering a special for $15 off massages for Legitimus members)).
thats a good dude right there! frickin animal!
