At CrossFit Calgary in Alberta, Canada, Brett Marshall says he tries to do all the right things for all the right reasons.
"'You changed my life'-they're words that will never get old," says the affiliate owner and head coach who also is a member of CrossFit's Level 1 Seminar Staff. "As long as I know we can keep having impact relative to that, I'll always be proud of what it is that we do and what it is that CrossFit does for people."
Among the people Marshall and CrossFit Calgary have affected is Scott Wilkinson, who had a severe motorcycle accident. Wilkinson spent four months in a wheelchair and then another eight with a walker. In that time he gained 70 lb. as his physiotherapist recommended avoiding much physical activity. But against therapist's and doctor's wishes, Wilkinson came in to the box.
In seven months, he increased his back squat from 135 lb. to 295 lb. and his deadlift from 125 lb. to 380 lb.
"It's encouraging, it's positive. There's lots of feedback," Wilkinson explains. "I'm not restricted or defined by the limitations that other people had put on me."
Marshall, who finished second at the CrossFit Games in 2007 and invented butterfly pull-ups, finished 43rd in the Canada West region during the Open, and he led CrossFit Calgary to a fourth-place finish in the team standings.

Really proud of been part of the CFC community. Brett, thank you! Scott, you are a big inspiration!
This is my city! I love Calgary!
The guy who had the injured leg made me nervous when he dropped off the pullup bar. But definitely an inspiration for any people I hear say "I cant do crossfit" or "I cant workout with my injury"
Great to see CFC in action
Great and Inspiring video! I love what Crossfit is doing. It has been a blessing to be able to do, and seeing how fitness can change so many people's lives inspies me to open up Crossfit gym (possibly in the Greater Pittsburgh area). Any takers?
CFC! Love that place.
I like the wall ball dispenser.
I didn't know there was a Crossfit channel.. thought only HQ
CrossfitHQ you have to do Profiles of South America Box's like Tuluka(ARG) or Tribo Fitness(Brazil)!
