MEMBER OF THE MONTH! Jarrod Duncan

•   Where are you from? I was born and raised here in Clarksville. •   How long have you been doing CrossFit? I started doing CrossFit in the fall of 2012 when SolaFide moved to its current location. •   What brought you to CrossFit SolaFide? My older brother and his lifelong friend Toby Hunter talked me into joining. I am so glad that they did. •   What do you love most about CrossFit SolaFide? I have been a member for 7 years, through 3 owners, and many different class times and it always comes back to the people that are in the gym every day. No matter what class I attend it’s always the best hour of my day surrounded by some of the best and most hardworking people around. •   What hobbies do you have outside of CrossFit? My only real hobby is investing in and working on real estate. •   What is something about you we might not know? That after living in Clarksville/Middle Tennessee my whole life I am relocating to NYC to be with my girlfriend and to continue my career in real estate in a few short weeks. I will miss this place as it truly has changed my life. I look forward to dropping in every time I am back in town.

•   Who is your superhero? My hero is my dad. He is hands down the best man I know and the reason I have had any success in life. •   What is your favorite CrossFit movement? Although it took me several years to figure it out, the snatch is now my favorite movement. •   What motivates or inspires you? I am motivated by seeing others exceed. I think that’s why I have been at the gym so long. Seeing others come in and reach so many goals and see changes in themselves is so motivating.

•   What is your best tip for new members? My advice would be to just show up and listen to the coaches and work hard. You are capable of so much more than you think. Also, talk to others in the gym you don’t know. I have met some of my favorite people in life at this gym and will always love my times spent here.
