Jake Dickerson
Name: Jake Dickerson, Provo Utah
Occupation: Day trader / Student
Tell us a little about yourself? I am from Oklahoma but have lived in Utah since 2000. I have always been involved in sports and love being active. I have done many things in my adult life and have mostly been self employed. I am currently working from home as a day trader and am attending BYU majoring in athletic training.
Why did you start CrossFit? Around my mid 20s I got bored of my normal exercise routines and got very busy with several businesses I was doing. This caused me to gain quite a bit of weight. I started exercising again but found it to be very boring. A friend told me about CrossFit and I fell in love with it from day 1. CrossFit has been a major part of my life ever since
What has been the most rewarding thing about adding CrossFit to your life? I am 30 years old and am in the best shape of my life.
What class time do you most regularly attend? 4:30
Favorite wod/exercise: I love a long, sexy met-con like Murph or any hero wod. The longer the better. I love gymnastics and body weight movements as well as all Olympic lifting. I love working my weaknesses.
Least favorite wod/exercise: wallballs, situps, and rowing.
Is your nutrition important to you? Nutrition is HUGE. I have never cared about what I ate until I found Crossfit. Now I am very conscious about what I put in my body and am very careful about what I eat. You are what you eat.
If so, how has it changed how you look, feel, and perform? My body composition has changed drastically since starting crossfit. I have more muscle and less fat than ever. I also feel amazing. The most noticeable difference is my energy level. I used to consume several energy drinks a day in order to keep going. I now have a constant energy level and am enjoying the best sleep on my life.
Tell us one thing that is uniquely interesting about you: I am addicted to Crossfit. It has completely changed my life.
How would you describe CFUV in one word? Family.
