150 WOD CLUB - ZACH GATTON!
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF, YOUR HOBBIES, GOALS AND LIFE ASPIRATIONS..

I’m a husband, Hawkeye, and future girl Dad. I love being active and pushing myself and CrossFit has been a great way to consistently challenge myself.

WHY DID YOU START CROSSFITTING OR FITNESSING?

I love playing sports and being active in general but I found my fitness and passion starting to plateau. I was still running quite a bit but was looking for something where I would be challenged but coached at the same time.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT WORKING OUT AND WHY DO YOU CONTINUE?

It's a great escape from the rest of my day and a great release. It also allows me to continue my quest to find the best chocolate chip cookie and still fit into my clothes.

IF YOU NEVER HAD TO DO ONE EXERCISE MOVEMENT AGAIN, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Overhead Squats. If I ever get into an everyday situation where I need to get in a full squat and then lift something over my head I'll just call Tyler Edwards.
