June 2011 - Chris Jones

Meet CFV Athlete Chris Jones!!


My name is Chris Jones 38 years old. Married to Holly Jones and we have two kids Anna 8 and Luke 6. We live in Magnolia. I have been in Law Enforcement for the last 15 years and resigned in December 2010 to allow myself more time with my family. I currently do Internet Marketing and own a trucking company called FAST Transport located in Magnolia.


Why did you two choose CrossFit?

I have always worked out but was tired of going to a regular gym and felt like I was getting nothing from it. I chose CrossFit because it is very challenging and different everyday.


Biggest CrossFit improvement in a WOD, you are most proud of?

My best improvement in the WOD is my ability to do pull-ups. I have never been able to do pull-ups so I steered way from them during my workouts. CrossFit has made me do them and I have improved drastically.


Biggest lifestyle, health and/or behavioral change you have experienced from CrossFit?

I enjoy going to workout as much as possible and CrossFit has made me want to do that.


What is your favorite thing about Cross Fit Victorious?

My favorite thing about CrossFit is how everyone makes you feel like you belong. There is encouragement from everybody during the workouts and helps to build that workout community.


What other fitness related activities do you participate in outside of CrossFit?

Outside of CrossFit I enjoy playing golf as much as possible and vacationing with my family.


What is your favorite strength lift, or least favorite strength lift and why?

My favorite strength lift is the power cleans.


What is your least favorite bench mark “Girl WOD” or movement? Why?

Least favorite movement is the burpees. They seem like they would be so easy but when you get into them they don’t seem to get any easier.


What is you favorite bench mark “girl” WOD or movement? Why?

My favorite workout is the Baseline Workout. I think that it is a good measurement of overall health.


What is your favorite thing about CFV?

Favorite thing about CrossFit Victorious is the atmosphere they create during the workouts with everyone helping each other and supporting each other.


Do you have any future CrossFit goals?

I would like to continue with CrossFit and my main goal would be to make it a part of my family with my wife and kids getting involved.


Chris continue the great progress you are making with your fitness and health here at CFV.  We love seeing you and your family working hard and having fun at your box!!
