How did I find Crossfit?
Noticed Steve & Meghan’s Facebook posts; had been wanting to add variance to my current workout routine so I checked out one of the free Saturday morning classes

How long have you been with Crossfit?
Since January ’09… ?

What do you like about Crossfit?
I like doing the workout in a group setting, and the encouragement and support that provides. I know for a fact that I’ve pushed myself harder and done more than I ever would if I was doing it on my own. You really end up taking ownership of and responsibility to your potential. I am so proud of how far I’ve come and what I can do

Proudest achievement so far?
Doing a pull up on my own! I always believed pull ups were for boys; never thought my body would ever be strong enough!

Favorite exercise?
Push up or squats. I was never strong enough or good at either. It feels so good to be able to do them now with perfect form. Very empowering.

Least favorite exercise?
BURPEE – ugh just saying the word simulates wanting to vomit

Other hobbies?
Spending time with friends, biking, shopping

What would you tell others about Crossfit?
The question should actually be what DO I tell others about Crossfit, because I’ve been asked a lot lately what I’ve been doing, as people have noticed changes. I tell them that I’m part of this incredible community-driven class that challenges me and has launched me to a whole other level of strength and fitness that I never felt before and never dreamed I would ever achieve.
