CONGRATS JUSTIN FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND EFFORT!
READ JUSTIN’S INTERVIEW WITH US BELOW!
Name ( nicknames): Limz, Lim or Paolo (only Ben calls me the last one)
Occupation: Lawyer
How were you introduced to Cross Fit & How long have you been doing CrossFit?
I learned about Crossfit from a friend that I looked up to. I looked up the closest gym to my house and just walked in without knowing anything about it. It’s been over two years since and I’m still here, coming back for more.
What made you decide to join CFM /RCFEW:
CFM was the closest crossfit gym to my house so I just walked in and signed up for an initial assessment with Steve.
Favourite Lifts/ Wods? I look forward to Olympic lifts, particularly snatching. As you probably guessed, Isabel is my favourite WOD.
3 Things you would definitely find in my fridge... probably the same thing as most Crossfitters, meat, vegetables and alcohol
Favourite place to eat: This is tough as I’m a bottomless pit. Any place with great steak or sashimi
Proudest Accomplishments: Getting through law school and not getting disbarred yet
Something people wouldn’t know about me: I grew up and spent most of my life as a fat kid
Biggest struggle in life? I’ve been very fortunate in life so I can’t complain. The biggest struggle I have is finding the right work/life balance.
Do you have a mentor, or someone you look up to? If so who?
I’ve had so many people who have played a huge role in my life. My parents would probably be my biggest mentors.
Who inspires you? The same as above, probably my parents. But when I’m at the gym, I’m inspired by all the other folks in the class. They push me more than I ever would push myself, and they motivate me to try and get better everyday.
What music I like listening to while working out: Hip-hop or house. Anything upbeat to get me hyped up.
I just want to say that the coaches and members at CFM/RCFEW are amazing and a huge reason why I’ve been able to stick with Crossfit. I’m more fit now than I’ve ever been in my life and the credit goes to them!
