DAYBREAKERS of the MONTH: Jay and Cory

When you give Cory and Jay a goal, they’ll do everything it takes to accomplish it. Whether it’s tweaking their nutrition or doing extra work like endurance or strength, both athletes will not only do what’s required but continue with it. In November, Cory had a baby, Braden, but was back in action rebuilding her strength and stamina with a focus on nutrition and running post workout. Jay won our nutrition challenge in January and has maintained his eating discipline long after the challenge ended. He’s PR’ed almost every lift, lost another few pounds, and now works with Coach Michele to fine tune his Olympic lifts. And to top it off, he does 25 burpees every morning when he gets out of bed.  Both Cory and Jay are great examples of dedication and diligence which makes them May’s Daybreaker’s of the Month.

DAYBREAKERS of the MONTH: Jodi + Pete

Jodi and Pete are another couple of silent but deadly CrossFit ninjas. Their good spirits, enthusiasm to help others and solid work ethic are certainly contagious to all around them.

This year, Jodi revamped her nutrition plan which has already resulted in new strength gains and a re-energized positive attitude. Jodi is constantly working on her weaknesses and is always quick to offer help and encouragement to new and old Daybreakers alike.

Pete is a great example of how to approach CrossFit and fitness in general. He is very self-aware and listens to his body when it whispers (rather than when it screams). When something doesn’t feel right, he works with a coach to modify the movement or weight. Pete also spends the time to practice challenging movements by breaking them down into smaller parts, honing in the technique, and then building them back up. He took this approach with double unders […]

DAYBREAKERS of the MONTH: Nate + Maria

THE COMMON BOND

While our two Daybreakers of the Month don’t often workout together, the way they workout is quite common. Both these athletes are quiet, determined, and motivated. But what we think makes them a model Daybreaker is this: they never complain. Not a moan or groan when they come in from a tough day. Not a sigh when Mel decides to do a plate push cash out. Not even a excuse when their workout doesn’t go as planned. They always grit their teeth, dig in and do the work. That or they’re complaining so quietly we can’t hear them. =) Congrats Maria and Nate!

I am honored that you guys chose me for this. Without the coaches and the 5:30am crew pushing me I would not have been able to achieve the results over the past year.

I live in Framingham with my wife Kara and my two kids, Matthew (5) and Emily (4), from whom you may hear “daddy, daddy, daddy” during Saturday WODS! I also have a pug named Barkley.
