250 More COOL POINTS for Roger Dortch !!!..
This guy gets double recognition today. Celebration for his 250th 51B workout and Roger is also our MEMBER MONDAY featured athlete!! ..
First, Roger is the COOLEST, so cool points on this guy just ups his "it" factor...
Roger has been doing CrossFit since 2017, five years before 51B opened their doors. He says he loves "everyone working out together, pushing and supporting each other to do things you never thought you could possibly do!"..
Roger has been a leader in our gym since day one. People see him doing the higher skill movements he is the first to tell and show people how its possible...
Roger's initial goals were to "just get in shape" and "not look like melted ice cream." 😂 As he got stronger, and stayed consistent, he realized he could do things like "kipping pull ups, then toes to bar, then chest to bar, then Olympic lifting."..
Roger says "the goal that got him through the door changed quickly" and that his goals "continue to change." He loves that the "ceiling continues to rise as my body proves I can do more."..
How cool is that?..
Roger is a big fan of the CrossFit Open and cheering on everyone else in the gym. "It is absolutely amazing to watch people do things they’ve never done before. The magic of the Open is real!"..
Roger is also here for the health benefits. "I am motivated to work my tail off so I can continue to live a life, not just be alive. The men in my family tend to develop heart disease and pass before turning 70. So if I am trying to change anything, that’s it." He's also drastically lowered his cholesterol and triglycerides since starting CrossFit and has learned "how to eat and have it fuel my body for repair, recovery and training."..
Congrats, Roger for setting such a great example for all of us! We are so lucky to have you as a part of our gym family!
