Congratulations to Joe Rubertone , October Athlete of The Month! Let’s get to know Joe a little better with some questions below.

When and how did you get started with us? I first joined CFS in 2012, but when my daughter was born in 2013 daily schedules and life in general got reordered a bit.  I came back to CFS in March of 2018. 

What is your biggest accomplishment since joining CFS? While I’ve had some PR’s recently that I’m proud of, I would have to say my overall increase in fitness and ability to go after WOD’s as a result.  

What is your favorite CrossFit movement? It’s hard to choose, but probably wall balls or rowing. 

What is your advice to new folks? Ask for the coaches advice, listen to the coaches advice, and just keep showing up as much as possible.   

What is your go to Emoji? Smiley face w/ sun glasses 😎

What is something you have always wanted to do but haven’t gotten around to  yet? Travel – I have done some – but there is a lot more I’d like to see.  Ideally I would like to travel with my kids as they get older. .  
If you could enhance one of your five senses, which one would it be and why? Given my current love for food I can’t pick scent or taste… so I think vision – seeing through walls and far distances would help me keep track of my three small kids better.  

What is your favorite holiday and why? Thanksgiving – I have a lot to be thankful for and the gift giving distraction of Christmas isn’t there. 

What was your favorite TV show as a kid? Scooby Doo followed by Airwolf – I don’t know – it was the late 80’s

What’s your zodiac sign? And do you think it describes you? Depends on the year – I’m a Taurus sometimes an Aries.  In general yes I think it describes me – I tend to be a very positive person and always look for the upside.  

What is something most people would not know about you?  I was once a judge for the Miss Buffalo Buffalo Wing Festival 

Thanks for sharing Joe!
