Favorite thing about CrossFit:
The constant need and pressure to get better! There is always room to improve lifts, aerobic capacity, technique, etc.
Favorite movement(s) or workout(s):
Cleans, Squats, really anything with the barbell!
Favorite things to do outside of the gym:
Outside of the gym, I’m really into watching horror movies, reading books on personal development and wellness, geeking out on software development, thinking about and eating my cheat meals. I also spend a lot of time playing with Beaux, my demanding but cute Sheepadoodle.
How did you first get into CrossFit?
I joined a CF gym in 2015 without much of a fitness regimen or athletic background. I started off as a member and eventually became a coach about two years in. I used to avoid the barbell and now I can’t live without it. I’ve lost over 30 pounds and have made fitness a staple in my life. I think fitness and healthy living is something that’s attainable for everyone. I like to help and inspire others to live out a healthy life in a way that works for them.
Why did you decide to become a CrossFit coach?
As someone with no athletic background, I truly believe that every person has an inner athlete waiting to be unleashed. I am still working to reveal my inner athlete and I hope I can help others do the same.
