Local Athlete Ranked 1st in the World For CrossFit

STOCKTON- Chris Podesto is a local athlete and businessman. When he isn’t busy running the 209 based grocery chain Food 4 Less as the President of the employee owned company, he’s ranking 1st place on the world in CrossFit for his 60 year old age group.

“What I enjoy most about Crossfit is the people I have met over the years. Most of the top competitors are my friends, and they exhibit the best qualities of humanity!

My words of encouragement for anyone else is to train with purpose and intention, no matter what level of fitness you’re trying to achieve! View training as a blessing rather than a chore! There are so many people in this world who would love to be training for one reason or another, but they cannot perhaps due to illness or physical limitations.

I would also like to thank Trevor Phillips and Anthony Malta for coaching me,” said Podesto who is one round down, and training for the next one in two more weeks for the CrossFit Open.

Good luck Chris. Way to represent the 209!
