Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at CFSE. Please take a moment to not worry about the copious amount of food you will consume, and instead think about the time you get to spend with the ones you love the most. Remember, it is OK to indulge, enjoy, get drunk and have fun- because we are open tomorrow 12-2PM for Open Gym 🙂
Be thankful for the health you have, the things you can do today that you could not do last year, and the people with you along the way. These are the things that matter most.
From all of the coaches and staff at CFSE, we are extremely thankful for each and every one of you. We are grateful to call you family. Happy Thanksgiving!

Reason(s) you joined CrossFit Speakeasy: Was looking for a new Gym and heard Rob had just opening CFSE. Having trained with Rob in the past the timing was perfect.
How has CrossFit Speakeasy changed your life: Before CFSE I just was just another guy working out at a CrossFit gym. Once I came to CFSE I stopped just working out and I began training. Through the teaching of the coaches and support of the members, I began to make major strides in strength, technique and cardio that I didn’t think were possible. Because of that support and coaching, I feel like I have only started to tap my potential and everyday look forward to a new challenge with the hopes of hitting new goals and achievements.
What is your biggest goal for 2016?: To place in the top 100 this year in the CrossFit Opens North East Region 40-44 year old Masters division
2 Random facts about yourself:
1. I’m probably not as cool as I think I am
2. Even though I have always worked in, and now own a restaurant, I have never had any official culinary or hospitality education.
Do you ever notice the patches of hair Dimitri misses when he shaves his head?: No….But thanks cause that’s all I will focus on every time I see him from now on
Which pair of pants will Rob be wearing today?: Not sure but the bigger question is what’s up with the Pants bro?

Do you ever notice the patches of hair Dimitri misses when he shaves his head?: Funny you ask. Just recently actually. Like two weeks ago.
Which pair of pants will Rob be wearing today?: If it was last winter, I would say dark cargo pants, but he seems to have retired them… so I’m going to go with gray.
