CFJ HQ MEMBER PROFILE: DYLAN CORREIA

WHAT DROVE YOU TO JOIN CROSSFIT JOZI?
Well I got tired of the boring monotonous legs, arms. Back routine at “commercial “gyms I needed variety I needed a different challenge I needed group enthusiasm I needed a vibe and I crave the rush
After long studies and Facebook /Instagram stalking the beautiful blonde bombshell Lesley Wright, I met with her and enquired on the price and classes and the where when and how’s
And then in August 2016 took the plunge went for the interview was rely amazed at the professionalism and quality of educated staff I felt welcome immediately
Started with the 1 month intro classes with the amazing caring passionate Tia McDougall the belief that she installed in me laid the foundation that still drives me every class
I currently do Mondays and Wednesday 6:30 classes with the power Couple Lynda and Cobus McCabe, they keep it fun and challenging and constantly push me to be the best I can be but still keeping me in the best text book form that CrossFit Jozi standards expect
I also finish the week with the cardio killer Zak GI Jozi on Thursdays 6:30, always something exciting to look forward to.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER FOR?
It’s amazing how time as passed I have been with CrossFit Jozi for a year and a month now

WHO INSPIRES YOU?
Very interesting question to me everyone inspired me that can get up and get to the gym to do the challenge
If you look at it all the “newbies” aspire to be like you so you need to be on your best form to show them they can do it as I was once in their position but on the same page I aspire to be like all the “Pros” so I need to push harder
So there is always someone to inspire you

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHEN YOU AREN’T AT THE GYM?
Well I work for Audi so if I’m not at the gym I most probably 8/10 times am at work I love my job and passion for the brand and meeting amazing people
The other 2/10 times I’m spending time catching up with friends

TELL US ONE INTERESTING THING THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU?

WHAT CHANGES IN YOUR HEALTH HAVE YOU NOTICED SINCE STARTING?
My whole physical mental and emotional well-being has changed I’m less stressed I can focus more I can see I have a very toned sporty looking physique I am a lot more supple and flexible and I fell more energetic
Mentally CrossFit is my meditation when you look back at a work out and all you can’t think of what you were thinking at the time you just remember silence in your head just everything blocked out finding peace in that chaos
