CrossFit Member of the Month

How long have you been doing CrossFit? 6.5 years

What made you decide to try CrossFit? Get back in shape after childbirth

What did you think after your first workout? That my body was made out of jello and everybody around me is a genetic freak. I thought there is no chance I could get much better from where I was.

What's your FAVORITE movement? Rope Climbs

What's your LEAST favorite movement? Running

Any advice for those just getting started on their fitness journey? Show up every time regardless what the workout is. It's easy to get discouraged benchmarking yourself to other people who may be stronger or faster but what really matters is your improvement against your yesterday - YOU!

Any shout-outs? Coaches Taylor and Jenna!!!! You always have a sharp eye and helpful cues to help improve the movements! All members in general who say hi, talk to me, and workout next to me making a newbie feel welcome - THANKS!
