What do you do when you’re not at CFA?
I travel, hike, and spend time with my two girls.
What do you do for a living?
I’m a physician assistant.
How has your fitness changed since becoming a member of the month?
Overall I’ve just gotten stronger which has helped make things outside of the gym easier, namely hiking (especially with a backpack).
When did you realize that CrossFit was right for you?
When I started to look forward to going. I despised going to the gym when I belonged to the Y and I’ve gone from that to being upset when I miss out on going to CrossFit… especially if it’s a fun workout.
What movement do you despise over everything and why?
The bike… not really a movement but I hate that machine. It sucks the life out of me.
What has been your all-time favorite moment at CFA? So many fun moments!
There once was a workout that had all my favorite things and I was super pumped. But mostly I enjoy seeing everyone and the great community at CFA. Also, getting a popsicle after Murph.
What motivates you during a tough workout?
Knowing that everyone else is going through the same pain and I love the sense of accomplishment when it’s over and you know you did it!
What’s something about you that most people at the gym don’t know?
I collect dark humor mugs and I love legos.
If you had to describe your CrossFit experience in one word, what would it be?
Accomplishment
If you could write your own workout for a day, what would it be?
There would be running, box jumps, wall walks, and maybe a rope climb or two. I also am a big fan of the 12 days of Xmas type workouts.
What would you recommend to someone who is just starting out with CrossFit?
Stick with it… it can be very humbling at times but everyone has been where you are at.
If you could have one skill or characteristic of another member at CFA what and from whom would it be?
I love all the positivity from 4pm 🙂 Everyone makes my bad days better.
