ABOUT AMRAP ANTICS
 

 

I created Amrap Antics as a blog that talks about the antics of Crossfitters, offering nutrition advice, workout tips, recovery help and a place where you can follow my own personal fitness journey.

 

My name is Harry Smith and I started CrossFit around 8 years ago through a gym in Leeds, UK.

 

Since then I have built of years and years of experience in different CrossFit Boxes and gyms around Leeds, done a few races, competed in a couple of local competitions and overall have gotten fitter and healthier as a result of CrossFit. 

​

I have recently passed my Level 2 Qualification as a Fitness Instructor (NASM, Premium Global) so you can be rest assured that the content I am putting out there is backed by training. 

 

Give me a follow through my Instagram below @amrapantics or comment on one of my blogs to ask me a question or get in touch. 

 

I also sometime review fitness products to share my experiences with them. If you would like to get in touch about reviewing your product get in touch through Instagram. 

​

In my day job I run a marketing consultancy in Yorkshire but also I am part of a business that sells resistance bands in the UK too. 

​

After playing rugby for over 13 years, I was tired of putting my body on the line so ventured out into non-contact sports like cycling, surfing, windsurfing and running too. 

​

I once cycled for 2 months around France as a "holiday" just for fun! However, now I am settled here up in Yorkshire I still cycle but also supplement that with CrossFit. 

​

I am so lucky that Leeds and Yorkshire have a great CrossFit community with a load of gyms local to me as well as my closest gym, which happens to be an Anytime Fitness gym. As I am a level 2 fitness instructor I work there on the weekends too, to get my fitness fix! 

​

I am looking to get my CrossFit Level 1 soon and hopefully become a CrossFit coach as a result of that but for the time being I will just write as much as I can about CrossFit. 

​

I love learning more about what the body can do and how CrossFit as a sport is developing in its infancy so I will try to keep this blog going for as long as I can, if you do want to support me and the blog you can purchase a Heckin Fit Resistance band here. 

​

I am also a massive advocate for Keelo programming so if you want to join them, please do so here. 

​

Thanks for reading and keep on fitnessing!
