My name is Darren and I have been working in CrossFit Waterford for over 4 years now. I started in the gym following work placement and really fell in love with the sport. Crossfit as a sport suits my interests so well as I love to learn new skills, progress my current skill level and its a fun environment to workout in as the workouts vary so much that there are no dull days training. Always a challenge and a purpose to each session.
