Do you remember your first CrossFit seminar? Thinking about taking the plunge? Well, four clients of CrossFit by Overload decided to attend the Level 1 cert on Jan. 9-10, 2010, at the University of San Diego in California.

Jon and Kathryn Hults, Michele Smith, and Nick Benavides all took their CrossFitting to the “next level” in spite of their worries of not being “ready.” They have all had excellent training in their box, but there was something different about being immersed in it for the weekend.

The lectures, demos, workouts and focused instruction were on a level not possible in the daily experiences within an affiliate, and they learned a great deal about what they’re doing right and what they need to focus on.

I was shocked to see an affiliate using Werksan bumpers, but apparently this was at a university gym not an affiliate?

Awesome video. CrossFit Elysium's newest trainer Stacie Beal is in several shots, mostly sitting on the right of (?) Michele during the lectures. Congratulations on your cert Stacie!

I was at this cert in San Diego. My wife and I traveled from Virginia to be there. I have to say it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was great to relive a little bit of it by watching this.

Was glad to see some "masters" like Jon and Kathryn at a level 1 cert. I'm 51 and heading to a level 1 cert next month in Conn. Looking forward to it!

Does anyone know the name of the tall skinny, bald guy that leads the L1 cert?
I believe he's a S&C coach at san diego state.
