We asked Stephen a couple of questions about this passion
 
How did you discover Crossfit?
A friend showed me the main site www.crossfit.com when I was plateauing with my bicycling and it quickly became my new hobby, now a passion (to put it mildly!)
 
What was it about Crossfit as a skill/fitness style that makes it work for you?
The constant variety keeps me from getting bored easily.
Also the community that I am a part of now is like nothing I have ever seen before. It is nothing but inspiring to witness people change their lives day in and day out.
 
Did it take you long to become an instructor?
It took a year to be confident enough in my coaching abilities to pursue a level 1 Crossfit Certification.
 
When do you find time to train?
I make time every day. Everyone has the time. On certain days I may only have 15 minutes, but you can bet your ass that I'll be hitting a WOD in that "spare" 15 minutes.
 
Stephen has gone on to obtain several additional qualifications and creditations.
In 2009 Stephen withdrew from the business, a couple of niggling injuries and family commitements, as well as the draw of music meant he could no long dedicate enough time as the business grew.
