Lisa Bender Austin, TX

Lisa Bender is a Triathlete of four years and began CrossFitting over two years ago. She works as a Sales Rep for Adidas Running products, which means fitness is a part of her social and professional life. Although at first she resisted the non-traditional CrossFit workouts, Lisa was ultimatley drawn to the competitive yet accepting community of CrossFit. "I love the intensity, racing the clock, and of course the results!"

Marco Talamantez was first introduced to CrossFit 8 months ago. Over the past two months he has truly dedicated himself to the CrossFit Method and has seen remarkable results. "CrossFit brings out rare internal energy that I have never experienced before in regard to fitness. Being a member of a law enforcement special operations unit, we never control the parameters of our mission. Crossfit is able to mimic the stress and unpredictability often displayed in my profession."
