1. What’s your athletic background?
I didn’t grow up playing sports. I didn’t even start working out until I was like 27. About 3 years ago I started doing obstacle course racing. And now CrossFit of course
2. When did you start working out at CrossFit Osiris?
I started working out at Osiris a little over a year ago.
3. What keeps you coming back?
I love the community and the family feel. The coaches and other athletes are always motivating and encouraging!
4. If you could write the WOD, what would it be?
Oh man, honestly I love the WOD’s that seem impossible, like the chippers so probably something like this: 2 rounds for time 400 m run, 25 box jumps, 25 burpees, 20 pullups, 20 pushups, 400 m run.
5. What are some of your goals, fitness or personal?
A few of my goals are box jump the 20”, do a strict pull-up and handstand push up…oh and I want to snatch more than 65 lbs lol
6. List one or two improvements you have seen in your life since starting CrossFit.
Since I’ve started CrossFit, my cardio ability has improved greatly and my muscle to body fat ratio has changed.
7. How do you like to spend your free time?
I like spending my free time outside as much as I can, either by the pool or sitting on the deck listening to music. I love kayaking and paddle-boarding, but I didn’t get to do enough of it this summer!
8. What’s your favorite cheat meal?
Pizza from The Italian Pie shop and Ben n Jerrys lol
9. What would you say to someone thinking about starting CrossFit?
I would say to just do it..whatever fears are holding you back go away quicker than you think!
10. Anything else you’d like to share about yourself?
Hmm..I’m pretty open already so that’s tough. One thing that’s kind of funny is I love to watch scary movies and sometimes still need to sleep with the hall light on!
11. How often do you attend classes?
On average, I attend classes 4 times a week..sometimes it’s more and sometimes it’s less.
