As you all know, Nabil has finally taken a much deserved vacation. As he is probably hitting up the waves, climbing up coconut trees, making a WOD out of surfboards, expanding his coffee addiction to hawaiian brew, and devouring the numerous amounts of meat at the Luaus in Maui, I thought it would be a great time to shout out some appreciation for the Wizard of the Sweat Shop. For as long as I’ve known him, Nabil has always put unrelenting passion in everything he does. This especially holds true for the Sweat Shop. Ever since he opened the Sweat Shop 1.5 years ago, he has spent the majority of every day figuring out ways to give the members at the Sweat Shop the best experience. While he is not instructing, he constantly looks for better training techniques, workouts, and ways to make coming to the Sweat Shop fun and exciting. As someone who has known him for a while, I can tell you that very few things get Nabil more excited than seeing the excitement on the face of a member that gets a personal record or achieves a goal. Nabil’s hard work and passion for the Sweat Shop has paid off tremendously. I have yet to come across a more informed, passionate, and fun group of CrossFitters. This is a testament to Nabil’s willingness to share his knowledge of health and fitness with everyone and more importantly, his ability to keep it real. In the world of fake, goofball, mirror-staring, bicep curling, over-tanned trainers, I’m happy to be able to work with a quality trainer like Nabil. I think he finally deserves a LEGITNESS OF THE WEEK.
Big ups and cheers to Nabil! Enjoy your vacation!
Seriously, name another coach you have had in the past that actually does the workouts that he makes you do, cooks you breakfast on occasion, wakes up every morning at 6 a.m. with you, and yells “10 SECONDS!!!!” in a loud childlike voice before workouts??
Feel free to leave any worthy comments about Nabil in the comments sections… Funnier ones requested…
