Demian Reed played sports his entire life and is passionate about pursuing outdoor challenges. Demian was exposed to Olympic and powerlifting techniques while playing football in High School. After high school Demian decided to start boxing to challenge himself mentally and physically. In 2010 Demian was introduced to CrossFit, after discovering CrossFit.com through SEALfit. At the time he was looking to compliment my training with a program that would increase my strength and endurance, and make him "good at everything." CrossFit was the perfect fit. He was a boxing coach at the time, and began implementing CrossFit into his practice until he found CrossFit NOLA and partnered up in late 2010. He appreciates the humbling aspect of the sport, and he sees CrossFit as a way to push oneself mentally and physically beyond limits that no ordinary person can perceive. He has competed on the CrossFit NOLA Regional Competition team. He placed 2nd in the 94 kg weight class in the Louisiana State Olympic Lifting meet in 2013, and has competed in the Deep South Shootout 2012-13 and the Pensacola Beach Brawl 2013.
