Each month we will be shining a spotlight on a member who embodies what we are all about; someone who works hard and is a pleasure to coach and be in class with. Who else could we award the inaugural badge to than Dan Anderson? Dan has been a 6.15 (am & pm) regular since we very first opened our doors last August and he’s come on leaps and bounds in that time, hitting PB’s on all of his lifts, getting his first handstand push ups and completing every workout in the Open.

I asked him a few questions about his TIO experience to date:

How did you first get involved with TIO?
I read about TIO opening in Dom’s Rosslyn Park newsletter and realised the yellow tent and containers I’d seen wasn’t RPs new outdoor bar but a fantastic indoor-outdoor gym.

What’s you most memorable CrossFit moment so far?
Somehow, and never repeated since, bar muscle ups in this years Open. It was a very good test of how much punishment the rack could take.

What’s your favourite movement/workout?
You can’t beat deadlifts, and any 21-15-9 workout is always a winner.

…and your worst?
High volume thrusters, anyone else remember the torture of 19.5?

What’s your number one CrossFit goal this year?
Link 20 Double Unders, might have to bring my skipping rope to the office to crack these.

What do you do when you’re not at the gym?
Hmmm…talk about CrossFit and check BTWB, poor Amy.

One thing people might not know about you…
I’m a secret allotment holder, surplus veg for TIO members this summer.

If you could give a new member one piece of advice, what would it be?
Record your workouts, seeing gains over time is a great motivator.
