ATHLETE PROFILE: CHARLIE WAGNER SENIOR
CHARLIE ON HIS 100 SQUAT OF ANGIE!
CHARLIE IN HIS OWN WORDS:
“AFTER SIX MONTHS AT CROSSFIT I LOST 56 POINTS ON MY CHOLESTEROL LEVEL, I ALSO GAVE UP SUGAR BECAUSE OF HIGH BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS. IN DOING SO I LOST 25LBS AND NOW TRYING TO GAIN SOME LEAN MUSCLE.
I FEEL GREAT, AFTER ONLY ONE MONTH OF CROSSFIT I WENT SKIING OUT WEST FOR SIX DAYS STRAIGHT AND DIDN’T FEEL LIKE I NEEDED TO STOP ONCE.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT ARE THE PEOPLE AT CROSSFIT, I SPENT 34 YEARS IN THE FDNY AND THIS IS THE CLOSEST IN TERMS OF BONDING AND FRIENDSHIP. I FOUND THIS IS THE BEST FOR DEALING WITH STRESS AND IT FEELS GREAT TO BE COMPETING SIDE BY SIDE WITH MY 25 YEAR OLD SON!
NEXT WEEK IS MY 70TH BIRTHDAY AND I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 2011 POLICE/FIRE OLYMPICS IN NYC.”

Charlie that’s amazing the progress you’ve made in the past 6 months is definitely noticeable. You look much leaner and stronger and the intensity you put into your workouts has gone up by an incredible amount! I’m really hoping that when I’m in my 60′s I’ll be able to do half of what you do now.
And Chris do we need to sign up for that website to vote for the surf date?
I really look forward to seeing Charlie at a class, he is always smiles and super encouraging!
Thanks Charlie:)

Charlie, not only are you a fantastic athlete, but an awesome person to boot! So happy you are part of our family Congratulations on all of your successes and I’m sure you have many more to come!
Yeahh!! Senior, 70yrs young. Little funny, but great story. Charlie durring the workout wants to lift 45lbs for SDHP. He ends up picking up the wrong bar on the first rep after the muscle ups (I believe it was) and does the entire workout with 65lbs!
“No Egos, No Words. Just Work.” That’s Charlie…
Here’s a little for all…
