Today on Wheel Wod we are featuring one of the greats in the adapted fitness world. He’s an OG and the first ones I found in the Wheelchair Crossfit world when I started over 3 years ago. Angel Gonzalez is a crafty Rican with an appetite to crush all wods no matter the length. He lives in Houston Texas and if your in a wheelchair in Houston or surrounding area and he has seen you… he probably approached you and asked if you wanted to try Crossfit. He owns Crossfit Redefined and was the reason I knew buying Crossfit Indestri was possible. I saw how he was doing it in Houston and wanted to do the same. Im a big fan of my Homie and had the pleasure to compete along side him in the AGOGE challenge last summer. Angel is the salt of the earth and his main goal is to make sure the wheelies are getting in the box and getting fit. He has a heart the size of a Texas booty 😉 (and we know that the BBQ and Corn Bread makes them big down there) He is a pioneer in this adapted Crossfit game and can be found travelling from box to box with the crossroads adaptive alliance spreading the good word when he’s not in the box. He is a great resource for adapted sports and will always take the time to help a wheelie in need.
Our boy is about to get hitched and we wish him and Jackie all the best! stay tuned for some wods on wheel wod by this crazy man… you will be left in a puddle when we hit one! My brother from a Southern mother Angel Gonzalez.
