Each month at CrossFit Flex, we spotlight one of our incredible athletes who embodies the heart of our community.
Congratulations to Erik, our August Flex of the Month!
Some Q&As with Erik:
🏋🏻♂️How long have you been doing CrossFit?
▪️I’ve been doing it on and off since 2021, but I’ve been training consistently for a year now.
🏋🏻♂️What or who made you try CrossFit?
▪️My wife’s friend invited me to give it a try and absolutely loved it.
🏋🏻♂️What is your favorite thing about Flex?
▪️Knowing that every time I show up, I am bettering myself and leaving stronger than when I walked in.
🏋🏻♂️What advice would you give to someone just starting CrossFit?
▪️Be consistent, dial in your nutrition, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep.
🏋🏻♂️If you could create a WOD named after yourself, what would it be and what would you name it?
▪️I’d call it "Ups and Downs." For time, It would feature all of my favorite movements:
• Handstand walks
• Bar muscle-ups
• Rope climbs
• Deadlifts
🏋🏻♂️If you could have any superpower for one WOD, what would it be and why?
▪️The power to control the climate! A crisp 69° with the wind always at my back, regardless of which direction I'm running.
🏋🏻♂️If you could have a workout buddy for life, who would it be and why?
▪️My wife. We support each other and push one another to be better every single day.
🏋🏻♂️What is one movement you love to hate (and why)?
▪️Wall balls. They’re a total-body movement, but I always feel amazing after I finish them in a WOD.
🏋🏻♂️If you could have a theme song play every time you walk into the gym, what would it be and why?
▪️”In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. It gets the blood pumping at the right time!
🏋🏻♂️What is one goal you have for 2026?
▪️To get my first ring muscle-up.
➡️Just wanted to send a huge thank you to all the coaches at FLEX. The gains I've made in my fitness and what I've learned about nutrition have been massive keys to my health.
I really appreciate the dedication, knowledge, and push you guys bring every day. Thank you for helping me become a better me! 🙌
Thank you for sharing, Erik, and congratulations again on being August’s Flex of the Month! 💪🏻
