The Barber and the Barbell

Gabriel Stockton floated around from job to job. He was overweight and, after a bout with drugs, ended up in a mental hospital for a week. “When you’re doing drugs ... there’s like this fantasy that’s going on,“ he explains. “The stuff that’s coming out of your mouth, the stuff that you’re seeing ... it’s unreal,“ he adds. Eventually, Stockton cleaned up and found CrossFit Ogden. “I saw like a revival,“ he says. “I could be part of something that’s going to be refreshed.“
