Congratulations to Greg Dort , March Athlete of The Month! Let’s get to know Greg a little better with some questions below.

When and how did you get started with us?

I think I started around five years ago. I weighed myself one day and I was 199. I’m not the tallest guy in the world so that’s a lot for my frame. I promised myself I would never hit 200 so I decided to look for something to do. I had done normal gyms off and on over the years but would never stick with it so decided to try CrossFit and got hooked right away.

What is your biggest accomplishment since joining CFS?

I’d say getting a bar muscle up. It took forever but I stuck with it and it paid off.

What is your favorite CrossFit movement?

Handstand Push Ups

What is your advice to new folks?

Scale appropriately. Don’t worry about what others are doing, focus on what you can do and try to improve on that. Keep track of your numbers so you can measure how you are doing. Other than the great coaches, we have great members. All are approachable and willing to help so take advantage of that. Remember, we were all new at some point and have been in your shoes. Finally, set attainable goals. I find if I set a goal I am more likely to achieve it.

What is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to you?  

This is tough, it’s between winning $500 on a scratch ticket and having two great boys. I’ll go with the $500.

What are your top two favorite movies of all time? 

I need to break these up into two categories, Horror movies (my favorite) and everything else.

Top Two Horror Movies:

Halloween

Silence of the Lambs

Non-Horror:

Raiders of the Lost Ark

A Few Good Men

What’s the farthest you’ve ever been from home?

Las Vegas

What is your favorite holiday and why? 

Halloween. Love scaring people and going to Haunted Houses

If you hit the lottery for 10 million dollars,  What are 3 things you would do with the money? 

1. Buy an RV and drive all over the country to figure out where I’d like to retire to
2. Buy season tickets to all the local sports teams
3. Fake my own death so no one can come after my money

What was your favorite TV show as a kid?

The Brady Bunch

What is something most people would not know about you?

I used to be an EMT

Thanks for sharing Greg!
