Prior to Crossfit, Detlef worked out at regular gyms on and off but continually found himself bored with the same routine. In November of 2009, Detlef was introduced to Crossfit and, after completing his first Crossfit workout, he was hooked. In March of 2011, Detlef obtained his Crossfit level 1 certification. Since acquiring his level 1 certification Detlef has assisted and coached classes at Crossfit Lake Charles. One of Detlef’s favorite things about Crossfit is its ability to test and push you to your limits.
Since starting Crossfit Detlef has continued to test and push himself by competing in a number of events in, and outside of, Crossfit. Detlef has competed in events such as Spartan race, Warrior Dash, numerous local 5k runs, Tough Mudder, and the 2011 South Central Regionals of the Crossfit games as a member of the Crossfit Lake Charles team. At the Tough Mudder Detlef and his team were able to finish in the top 5% qualifying to run in the Toughest Mudder.
