About Ramsey

Who is Ramsey?

I was born in Macon, GA, and have spent most of my life in the area. My wife and I have three little girls, along with a couple of dogs and a cat that keep us on our toes. I’ve had plenty of hobbies over the years, but the one that’s stuck with me since I was a kid is playing guitar. These days, I still enjoy playing in a few bands around town in my free time.

Describe your sports and fitness background?

In middle and high school, I competed in football, wrestling, and track & field. I’ve never been a big guy, so wrestling was always my favorite — until a couple injuries forced me to take a step back.

What is your favorite and least favorite movement?

I usually enjoy cleans and any of the gymnastics-style movements — probably because I’m a bit better at those. My least favorite? Definitely double-unders and thrusters.

If you had to give a bit of advice to people starting out what would that be?

Take your time. There’s nothing to prove to anyone here. When I first started a couple of years ago, I couldn’t even finish a scaled workout — and I was insanely sore for days. I’ve had a few old injuries slow me down, but I just tried to stay consistent. Over time, I worked up to being able to RX most workouts. Just keep showing up.
