Mike Solla may be a new face around the box, but he is not new to Crossfit. Though he has only been Crossfitting since February of this year, Mike has already received his Level 1 (L1) Certification to Coach! Talk about not wasting any time!
This past Spring, Mike spent a life changing weekend in Canton, MA, where he completed his L1, and was lucky enough to have dinner with the founder of Crossfit, Greg Glassman. Mike got to know many important figures in the Crossfit Community that weekend, and shortly after his return, found Crossfit Legitimus, his new home.
Mike came to CFL by way of his friend LuAnn, who told him about our amazing community, and awesome space to WOD in.
Mike doesn't have a particular type of WOD he favors more than others, but his favorite lift is "any type of squat". He also enjoys gymnastics movements, but admits he still needs some work in that department.
When he isn't cheering everyone on at Legitimus, Mike is a professional soccer referee. He works with countless leagues including the WPL (Women's Professional League), Premier Development League, and the Development Academy, to name just a few. Mike also works for the NCAA refereeing in the Big East, America East, Ivy League, MAAC (Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference).
If you don't know Mike yet, you will soon. He puts up heavy weight, and is a really positive addition to our box. Mike makes it a point to learn people's names and really cheer them on throughout the WOD. Make sure to return the favor! Welcome Mike!
