The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate,” the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Paul McNeil

Name: Paul McNeil, Orem Utah
Occupation:Installation ManagerTell us a little about yourself?
I live at what others jokingly refer to as the “animal farm” (3 dogs, and 5 cats..most from rescue), with my wife Patti.  Born and raised in Anchorage, AK, and moved to Utah in 1996 with my former wife.  I have a BA in communication, served a 5 year apprenticeship with the electrical union, and currently manage a company that does home automation, and private theaters in Park City.Why did you start CrossFit?
I wanted to challenge myself in new ways.  I wanted to lose some weight, be stronger, healthier, and most importantly break out of the “comfort rut” I’d been in for a long time.

What has been the most rewarding thing about adding CrossFit to your life?
In one word..everything!
I feel better, have more energy, have an outlet for stress, and most importantly have met some of the best people ever!.  I think crossfit helps make you aware of your limitations (in a good way..who knew I could deadlift more than 320lbs..I sure didn’t!).  It’s always funny looking at the transition from before to now..I hate to admit it, but sometimes when you’re getting ready in the morning you notice little things..some shoulder muscles, or more definition in your legs..it keeps you motivated seeing results so quickly.

What class time do you most regularly attend?
Usually the 6:30pm class!

Favorite wod/exercise:
All of them (it just feels good to get through them, especially the ones I’m not very good at)! But any 3-3-3-3-3 workouts give me a chance to focus on proper form without the “panicked rush” of a regular WOD.

Least favorite wod/exercise:
running..running and running!  5K days suck!

Do you eat Paleo?
Yes

If so, how has it changed how you look, feel, and perform?
It’s been awesome.  I’ve lost inches from my waist, and feel stronger and leaner!  My stomach feels the best it has ever been (no more acid reducers, or bloated feeling after eating).  I feel like I’m performing better than ever, and one of the great things about the lifestyle (not diet) is that it helps you understand how food affects you as an individual. For instance I can feel the “sugar rush” after having an apple now, and I also know what foods make me feel sluggish, or sick.

Tell us one thing that is uniquely interesting about you:
I’m kind of a tech geek (Arduino is the current flavor..google it!). I love constructing and programming in many different forms, especially open source.

How would you describe CFUV in one word?
Monolithic
