Bill Shockley CrossFit Level 2 CrossFit Olympic Lifting CrossFit Gymnastics CrossFit Running CrossFit Endurance During the past five years, I have traveled all over the United States learning the CrossFit doctrine. It all began with a conversation I was having with someone at the gym. We were discussing our workouts and how boring they had become. As we were talking, someone interjected with a simple statement: “CrossFit.” We started talking and I was curious, so I went home and checked out the site and was hooked—the methodology and the science behind it seemed to make a lot of sense. Not long after that I flew out to California to attend the level 1 certification. I then started working for an affiliate. Three years later I received my level 2 certification, along with other specialty certifications. What I am trying to accomplish with CrossFit A.C.T is simple: to make it the best environment for any athlete. Whether you are a seasoned CrossFitter, an athlete looking to gain an edge, or someone looking to lose weight, I will do my best to make sure that you receive top-notch coaching. I have been training people for over five years, and there is nothing else I could see myself doing. It’s my job to make you love that one hour a day you spend here and learn something about yourself—setting goals and smashing them. Jessica Murden I've been an athlete my entire life, playing competitive softball as a pitcher up and down the east cost until I was 18. In college, I was a member of the University of San Diego Women's Crew Team for a year, until I transferred back home to the Fashion Institute of Technology. Although an amazing school, FIT obviously did not have the athletic edge that I was accustomed to. So I got heavily involved in the fitness industry, getting my personal training and spin certifications. I thrived in the gym and loved every minute of teaching. However, in 2010, I tried a CrossFit class in lululemon athletica and never looked back. It was the rush and competitive edge that I had been missing; it was everything I looked for in a workout. Now, almost three and a half years later, I am co-owner and marketing director of CrossFit ACT in Saddle Brook, NJ. I, along with my partner, Bill Shockley, aim to create the best and most supportive environment for training. We make athletes of all shapes and sizes, all along they way providing the best coaching we can possibly give. btw...i'm the better-looking partner, although Bill$ grows a damn good beard. BGMT is glad to be partnering up with #crossfitACT to bring you some excellent material inside the crossfit and cross training world #bgmt
