Joe Benoit

College attended/Degree/Military Service and what you do now
I attended Fordham University and graduated with a degree in Accounting. Today, I am Financial Consultant in a real estate accounting department.

Your athletic background (did you play competitive sports, college sports; your certifications – including what CrossFit certs you have
I played soccer growing up and walked on my Freshman year at Fordham. I also have my CrossFit Level 1 certification.

How did you find CrossFit?
I took a cross training class at the gym. The coach of that class was an avid crossfitter. He suggested I try CrossFit. When I moved to San Diego I decided to switch to CrossFit from a traditional gym. I fell in love with it and have not stopped since then.

Favorite CrossFit move (could be Oly lift, other lift, cardio move, even burpees (if you really love them!))
My favorite CrossFit movement would be the squat snatch. I like how technical the lift is and how it constantly needing refinement.

CrossFit athlete you would most like to WOD with (and for what reason)
I would like to WOD with Noah Ohlsen. I have met him and he was one of the nicest people. He was very welcoming and friendly. Plus he is from Florida and it’s good to support the local folks.
