Cam Hewitt is our spotlight athlete for the last part of September. Take a read below to find out a little bit more about this Behemoth!-Who are you Cam Hewitt? Tell us a little about yourself or something that would surprise people.I’m a 33 year old husband to fellow Bshemoth Dawn, and stepfather to my 3 amazing kids John-15, Lexi-14, and Ian-13. A former smoker, and always the skinny kid growing up, I tried my best to expand my horizons after high school and college. As life unfolded, I discovered many fun life experiences, such as fire spinning and art scooters, but never could find a way to get fit the way I had always envisioned.-How and when were you introduced to Behemoth?In July of 2013 I made a commitment to find a box that fit me. I had tried an intro workout before, and tried a box by my work in the Sugar Land area. Behemoth was close to home and after driving down FM 529 and seeing the sign, I decided to drop in for an intro class. A couple phone calls, and emails, and I was hooked! I had no idea then, the amazing impact it would have on me.-What are you most proud of, physically, mentally or both since beginning with us?Physically – I can FINALLY complete pull-ups! I could never do them as a kid or adult, and now I can string together 9 chin-ups, and working on more.Mentally – It can be tough to start any day with the right attitude or positive mindset, but on the days that I come in, I am more productive and feel more accomplished. Starting the day off lifting something heavy just seems to get me motivated to take on the world.-Why Behemoth?After my intro class, and discussions with the coaches, I felt home at the box and saw how different it was from other places I had tried. It was then that I knew I had a real chance to succeed in my long and short term fitness goals.-What next? What are you excited about pursuing here in the future?I have all intentions of attending a competition in the future. Now that I’ve reached a fitness level previously never achieved, I want to have fun with the CF Open or a local competition. I’m excited at the chance to pass CF on to my kids soon. I’m hoping they all take an interest, like their mother and I have.3, 2, 1…Go-My favorite lift is… DEADLIFT-My most frequent class I come to is… 6am (the best in the box!)-I have always wanted to… skydive-When I’m not crushing weights, my favorite thing to do is… coach my son’s baseball team, spend time with the family, and practice fire spinning.-Favorite “application of fitness” outside of the gym is… Fire Spinning, its HOT in a circle of fire and requires endurance in those conditions.-Favorite Pandora station… The Crystal Method Radio and 2000’s Hip Hop radio, cuz you really can’t have just one.-Beast mode engaged when this song comes on… *****’s In Paris – Jay Z and Kanye West
