Matt has recently stepped his game up at the gym and was a unanimous decision for Athlete Of The Month. While being a bodyweight movement ninja, he has really taken to the weightlifting side of CrossFit and strives to be better every day. He is part of the foundation of our 5:30am class and always has a positive attitude no matter how big the suckfest of a workout is that day. Keep on keepin’ on Kessler!

A few words from Matt in regards to his time here at EDCF:
