About me

My name is Caleb Burchfield, I am an avid crossfitter and health nut. But I wasn't always this way, I was a normal kid through elementary school, a little on the small side, but nothing to be alarmed about. Then came middle school, most people had hit their growth spurts by now, strange things are starting to happen to their bodies, but not me, nope I'm still walking around at a massive 5'1, and weighing in at a bulky 75 pounds. This was a problem for me, and on top of that I was quite possibly the most socially awkward kid on the planet, this led to a couple of rough years, getting swirly's, books thrown around campus stuff getting stolen from me. Cuz hey what was I gonna do about it, I couldn't stand my ground against your average honey bee. Add on top of that being made fun of by literally everyone in your class and it makes for a great time. Luckily middle school was only 2 years of my life. In high school I was fed up with all the crap I was having dumped on me, so I was going to join the football team, maybe I would toughen up a bit, and trust me I did. I hit my growth spurt finally as well, from 8th grade to Sophomore year I grew from 5'1 to 6'0. I eventually began to make some friends as well, things were getting alot better for me. I began working out religiously, I had a football coach who saw the potential in me, his name was Jonathan Loudermilk, and I am beyond grateful for the time he invested in me, he is the man I credit most for turning me into who I am today! He took me and a small group of football players and showed us what hard work in the weight room can do for you. he always said "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard!" naturally I latched onto these words. This is what drove me                          

all through High School to out work the guy next to me. Through all this hard work I became one of the strongest players on the team and a real threat on the field. I enjoyed every second I had on the field and really wish I could suit up in those stinky pads one more time. But all good things must come to an end, and they usually open the door to new opportunities. After High School I was in need of some way to stay in shape and keep me competitive, so naturally I was drawn to the crossfit lifestyle, you do insanely tough workouts and you get to compete with people in your gym, your community and around the world!!! Needless to say I was hooked. Now I am a Level 1 certified coach and I am training at Crossfit Bravery, I love my job!
