Nicholas Hoberman
I grew up in Long Island with my 5 siblings, later moved to Westport, CT where I had been living for the past 13 years, and moved to DC only weeks ago. I have been playing sports my entire life, including soccer, track and field, and ice hockey which I played in both high school and at Union College where I graduated from in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science.
I first found CrossFit in November 2011 when I was watching ESPN and found it extremely appealing. I had never done bar work, and had done very little with gymnastic work. I started CrossFit because it looked fun and was peer pressured into participating in the opens in March. I qualified for regionals and had one of the best experiences of my life. From there my training became a bigger part of my life and I got my CrossFit Level 1 Cert and my CrossFit Gymnastic Cert. I continued my training, while moving to another gym in CT to coach and qualified for regionals again, finishing better than last year in both opens and regionals.
I am looking forward to getting my OPT Level 1 Cert in the future as well as competing at the Mid Atlantic Regionals next spring and hitting new PR’s and watching others hit PR’s!!
