Everybody Needs a Role Model

Everybody Needs a Role Model

By Chuck · 1 Comment ·

This guy is my CrossFit hero. Jacinto Bonilla from Brooklyn’s CrossFit Virtuosity is 73 years old.

…and this guy is mine.

For those of you who don’t know him, I’d like you to meet Jacinto Bonilla.

Mr. Bonilla is a 73 year-old  gentleman from Brooklyn, New York, and a CrossFitter who puts many young men to shame. Though he was a bodybuilder and weightlifter in his younger days, he has only been a CrossFitter for six years. After you watch this brief video, you will know why I admire this guy and look up to him as a role model.

I must admit that Mr. Bonilla puts me in my place regarding opting out on Filthy Fifty last week.

Note: 2017 Update – Jacinto is now 77 and he is still going strong.
