What was your exercise experience prior to CrossFit?
I have been attending various gyms on a regular basis over the past twenty years.

How long have you been doing CrossFit and why do you choose to CrossFit?
I have been a member for the past eighteen months. CrossFit is motivating, magnificent, a must…I choose CrossFit because it rewards my efforts immediately. I feel great after every workout–physically, emotionally…it holds all of the holistic benefits one can hope for.

What is your favourite part about CrossFit?
The variety: Every day is a new WOD! I embrace the challenge, or anticipate the unknown. Regardless, I enjoy, and learn from every class.

What are the accomplishments you are proud of? (CrossFit or non CrossFit related)
I am proud of having accomplished academic success at a later time in my life. Mostly, I am proud of not letting age define me. Ever.

Favourite workout or lift?
I enjoy back squats and am developing a fondness for Cleans. All workout moves and lifts are increasingly familiar and are less intimidating.

Anything else you would like to share please feel free ☺
The coaches, staff, and members are welcoming, patient, friendly, and encouraging. Thank you!!
