MEET JOHN WASHINGTON

In what year did you start CrossFit?
2021

Why did you start CrossFit?
During the height of COVID, solo workouts worked for a bit, but I started to lose my motivation. I needed a group of people to keep me motivated.

How many days per week do you CrossFit and what is your normal class time?
I attend 2-3 classes per week at the 9 a.m. classes.

What is your favorite movement?
I enjoy Power Cleans

What movement do you want to conquer?
I want to conquer Muscle-Ups

What kind of music do you like to listen to when you work out?
I like to listen to EDM when I work out.

What kind of changes have you noticed since joining Straight Flush?
I can wear whatever I want in my wardrobe. I definitely have jeans from 10 years ago that I’m rocking. At work, I’m asked to do physical tasks and I never doubt whether or not I can get it done.

What do you do for a living?
I am an RN in the Emergency department.

What do you like to do when you’re not working out at Straight Flush?
I like to fish, kayak, hike, swim, dance, and hang with family and friends.

What do you love most about the Straight Flush community?
I love the high five or fist bump at the end of a grueling session. Where both individuals kicked ass and finished!
