- How long have you been doing CrossFit?
- 2 years
-
What were you doing for exercise before CrossFit? - Not much. I was the girl that would putz around the gym going between the treadmill and elliptical. I was too intimidated to go into the free weights area.
- How did you begin training at CrossFit Sweat Shop?
- A friend of mine (that also told me to try CrossFit 7 years ago) came to visit and I dropped her off at Sweatshop for a drop in. I signed up for a trial session a week or two after and the rest is history.
- What has been the most significant benefit or change since you’ve been a member of the Sweat Shop?
- Less stress and better sleep.
- What is your favorite exercise or workout?
- Any overhead shoulder bar/db work or things that help me with rope climbs, push-ups and pull ups.
- What is your least favorite exercise or workout?
- Wall balls
- What is your favorite cheat meal/snack?
- The inner child in me loves allllll the junk food snacks: sour patch kids, hot tamales, muddy buddies, Chick fil A…
- What do you enjoy most about training at CrossFit Sweat Shop?
- The coaches and members are what make Sweatshop the best. It makes it worth turning up day after day!
- Now that you’ve been doing CrossFit, what’s one thing you could never see yourself doing again? (workout, nutrition, lifestyle, etc.)
- I can’t see myself not going to the gym anymore
- What is your proudest exercise related achievement?
- A real push up!
- What advice would you give someone who is hesitant to try CrossFit?
- Take full advantage of the fundamentals courses. It will help build a great foundation for all the movements. Weights don’t make you bulky and the gym really isn’t that intimidating. Everyone that I have met through CrossFit has been very helpful and supportive.
- What is your most sought after exercise goal?
- A real pull up
- What do you enjoy doing outside of CrossFit?
- I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Usually BBQing and swimming in our yard.
- What is something you have recently purchased for less than $100 (or acquired for free) that you thoroughly enjoy and would recommend to others?
- My Fabfitfun box… It’s fun to get goodies in the mail
- Any advice you would give your 25 year old self?
- You only have one body, take care of it
