November Athlete of the Month – Michael Doran
You are a dedicated athlete. What keeps you motivated to keep at it?
CrossFit has helped me feel the healthiest and strongest I’ve ever been. I feel pride in my body’s ability and consistent training is what supports that. It is also great to be able to eat burgers with impunity.
What’s your favorite CrossFit move?
I really enjoy overhead squats. They are a difficult movement that requires a particular blend of strength, balance, and flexibility.
What’s your least favorite move?
I prefer not to ride the Assault Air Bike, when possible.
Outside of CrossFit, do you have a favorite hobby?
I am a professional cello, violin, and viola maker. My work is my passion and CrossFit gets me to clock out. For a vacation from work, I once made a mandolin for myself.
Would you share something we may not know about you?
I’m a good cook, I love restoring old woodworking machines, and I can make fire without matches or a lighter.
