Our Story
CrossFit changed our lives.
It did not just make us fitter. It changed what we believed we were capable of. Before CrossFit, we would not have imagined ourselves taking on long, hard hikes, let alone HYROX, Spartan Races, and fitness competitions. It helped us recover faster from injury, get sick less often, and build a healthier, more resilient life.
But the biggest shift happened outside the gym. CrossFit taught us discipline. Our old lifestyle was built around partying every weekend, skipping priorities, and not taking care of ourselves the way we should have. Today, we live very differently. What used to be a lifestyle built around partying has been replaced by one built around personal growth, training, and better habits. We care about sleep, nutrition, recovery, and mindset in a way we never did before. The principles we learned through CrossFit helped us grow far beyond fitness and gave us the discipline to do hard things in other areas of life too. Even our parents are still surprised by how disciplined we have become.
And then there is the community. We have visited more than 30 CrossFit boxes around the world, and what still amazes us is how quickly a box can feel like home. No matter where we are, the moment we walk in, it feels like we are with our people. The conversations, the energy, and the connection feel instantly familiar, even with people we have never met before. That is what we want to build at CrossFit Angkor for others in Siem Reap.
