Spencer Whiteley has been doing CrossFit now around 11 years after he stumbled across a CrossFit box whilst looking for a new gym soon after leaving the Army following 15 years of service. He left the Army due to a near fatal injury whilst serving in Iraq in 2007. He needed 3 years in rehabilitation, and then once he could (just about) walk he was medically discharged from the Army. Having a long history of sport and physical exercise since school, it was only natural for him to speak out physical exercise. After starting CrossFit where he couldn't do an air squat or jump onto a box he has gone from strength to strength and is about to return to CrossFit games for his second appearance. He has a full time job whilst also running a CrossFit box with his wife. Showing what can be done with a clear goal and focus. This is a fantastic story, just don't expect him to help you hitch hike. * Follow Spencer on IG: https://www.instagram.com/spencer_whiteley/ Spencer's fundraising T-shirt: https://unbranded-apparel.co.uk/products/whiteley-games-tee Our IG: https://www.instagram.com/normalisedactivity/

62. From dying twice, to the CrossFit games twice - with Spencer Whiteley

Spencer Whiteley, a former British Soldier was walking along a vehicle park just outside of Basra, Iraq in 2007 when suddenly an enemy mortar landed right beside him. The blast shattered his femur, blew away most of his inner leg, amputated his right thumb and also caused multiple internal wounds just to mention a few. His injuries caused Spencer to also die TWICE during evacuation to the field hospital. Spencer shares with us today the importance of not playing the victim during his recovery as he reveals just how grateful he is just to be alive to tell his story. In fact he's gone on to do things beyond what any of his medical staff thought he would. Spencer is the proud owner of CrossFit Blockhouse in Andover, England with his wife and fell just short of qualifying for the 2018 CrossFit games. All whilst competing with the disadvantage of his previous injuries. Spencer truly shows us how your mindset is the key to overcoming adversity. You can either live your life to the fullest as your best and healthiest self, or you can let life dictate your journey.
