62. From dying twice, to the CrossFit games twice - with Spencer Whiteley

from Normalised Activity · host Sean Robson and Paul Jones

Spencer Whiteley has been doing CrossFit now around 11 years after he stumbled across a CrossFit box whilst looking for a new gym soon after leaving the Army following 15 years of service. He left the Army due to a near fatal injury whilst serving in Iraq in 2007. He needed 3 years in rehabilitation, and then once he could (just about) walk he was medically discharged from the Army. Having a long history of sport and physical exercise since school, it was only natural for him to speak out physical exercise. After starting CrossFit where he couldn't do an air squat or jump onto a box he has gone from strength to strength and is about to return to CrossFit games for his second appearance. He has a full time job whilst also running a CrossFit box with his wife. Showing what can be done with a clear goal and focus. This is a fantastic story, just don't expect him to help you hitch hike. * Follow Spencer on IG: https://www.instagram.com/spencer_whiteley/ Spencer's fundraising T-shirt: https://unbranded-apparel.co.uk/products/whiteley-games-tee Our IG: https://www.instagram.com/normalisedactivity/
