Hey Friends!

Running slightly late on this but we’re super stoked to highlight another amazing member!  I don’t know how we manage to get so many great people coming out to train with us, but it must be some sort of like attracts like with our members.  This month is no different, that’s for sure.  This month we recognize someone with a great work ethic, athletic background and attitude.  Someone who is working hard on her studies, her training AND is still involved in the community (outside AND inside the gym).  Very proud and excited for March’s CrossFitter of the Month…

What was your exercise experience prior to crossfit?

I’ve done pretty much everything you can do from running to yoga, to walking around goodlife without a clue what to do. However, primarily before CrossFit I cross-country skied for Laurentian’s Varsity team first and second year and for a club team a couple years prior to that. I also competed as a biathlete before university, which is skiing and shooting.  I’ve been around sports my entire life being active has been a part of my life so as long as I can remember.

How long have you been doing CrossFit and why do you choose to CrossFit?

I started in June 2016, the reason why I started CrossFit was I wanted to push myself and find something different. After talking to Ben about it I finally made the decision to join (Best decision EVER). I choose Crossfit because no matter how bad your day may be when you walk into the gym it gets a little better and by the time I leave I’m a completely new person. Also lifting heavy things is pretty awesome too lol

What is your favourite part about CrossFit?

Hands down, the people that attend the gym! Such a great atmosphere, everyone is always ready to throw it down in a workout.  I love how CrossFit not only challenges you physically but also mentally. Also the games during class, who doesn’t love a good game of tic tac toe!

What are the accomplishments you are proud of? (Crossfit or non-CrossFit related)

My proudest moment to this date in CrossFit was hitting 105lbs snatch in the open, and doing the open in general! Starting to do workouts without scaling everything makes me reflect back on how far I’ve come and I can’t wait to see where I go. Also, my row times make me pretty happy! Non-crossfit proudest moment is probably graduating from university this year.

Favourite workout or lift?

Any workouts with a barbell or rower!

Power clean is definitely my favourite lift, although lately, my snatch has been feeling pretty damn good

Worst workout: 100 wall balls for time but and every minute 10 walking lunges with the ball overhead…still haven’t let that one go. Gives me nightmares

Anything  else you would like to share please feel free 

Thanks to all the coaches and everyone at the gym! You guys are the real MVP!
