The CrossFit Coach: Scott Panchik

[@deedeesoto3900]

Made me tear up when he shared the story of his one gym member Henry. Just amazing. I am a new cross fitter, one year in and when I started I had a hard time with mobility , I struggled with all of it. Plus i Was over weight and had bad knees and I'm older person But in that year I am a Henry... My knees are stronger, I can now hang on the bar and Im able to now do walking lunges I did the open of course it was the foundation workouts but it was amazing to be a part of this gym and community. I'm learning everyday to trust the coaches and their help and to realize this is now my life and I'm stronger, lighter in weight and I see my body growing stronger. Henry's story was just beautiful.

[@jobimzapico44]

I had the privilege of meeting Scott at a “wounded warrior” event over 10 years ago now and even back then his focus was serving others. This was when he was first getting into competition and I’ll never forget he had ONE question the entire day and it was about how to make things in CrossFit more digestible for adaptive athletes. That’s where his focus was at this event.

[@crossfit]

Wow, what a beautiful story, Jobim! Thank you for sharing that with us and thank you for watching! If you haven't already, we'd appreciate it if you could please share with your family and friends!

[@bethwoolery5624]

Wow thanks for sharing this story… I’m new to CrossFit and I’m so inspired 🙌🏼🙌🏼 yes you inspire….

[@ЕвгенийСторонкин]

Вот Панчик это мужик, уважаю и ценю его! Один из немногих, кто не отвернулся от старика когда все остальные в тот же день заверещали что мы больше не кроссфит и ничего общего с ним не имеем. Человек слова и дела.

[@leeluis]

This puts into perspective why he was awarded the Spirit of the Games award back in 2021!

[@crossfit]

A well-deserved award, for sure. Thanks so much for watching, Lee!

Always knew Panchik was a solid dude...but this? Incredible.

[@judeyyudkin3183]

Such an inspiration!

[@lanebowers]

I love this so much. This is why I try to get all my friends who will listen into CrossFit. Scott is a true champion in life. Most importantly, I love that Scott loves Jesus.

[@crossfit]

Thank you so much for watching, Lane, and for a CrossFit advocate. We hope that videos like this will inspire more people and show them what they're capable of as they age. 💪

[@lanebowers]

@@crossfit I agree. I have probably introduced 50 people to CF and had them thank me for what it has done for them. My last recruit had just lost his wife to cancer and now wanted to get back to making health a priority. I told him that Crossfit will give him an amazing community and help him deal with his depression. He said his friends told him he was nuts and tried to talk him out of it and just become a gym member. Through much communication about pain, diet, and embarrassment over his current fitness level, he has now invited his son to join him. He is moving forward and making progress.

Respect Panchik

Just ♡ this w/ all my heart!

[@hannahsnyder9003]

Wow truly amazing 🥹🙌

[@jump312]

I want to be a better coach, I taught swimming for about 10 years and it was still the most rewarding experience I've ever had the privilege to be paid for. almost 15 years, 5 with a cl1, its still the best thing I think I've ever put energy into. I really think my retirement plan is to open a gym tho, I think that far down the line I'll have the capital to open, and maintain, plus all the knowledge picked up over the years from all the other people... I wanna be the reason someone doesn't get a replacement, looses 100 lbs, looses 200 lbs, not being afraid to climb a step or stairs... a boy can dream haha!

[@crossfit]

Thank you for sharing your goal with us, jump312! We believe you can do it and what a great goal to shoot for! You could even start by writing it down on a goal board. 😉 We appreciate you tuning in! If you haven't already, we'd love if you could share it.

Those Panchik bros parents had Scott, were impressed by what they’d created, and hit copy paste for Saxon and Spencer. Sheesh those boys are animals 💪

This is the Kool-Aid I drink. This is the Crossfit I love! Don’t get me wrong. I love the tip of the spear as well, but without the shaft there would be no tip.

[@crossfit]

You're right, T.H. Thank you so much for watching! Stay tuned for more episodes soon.
