Name: Kristen Emde
Profession: Executive Assistant at Mass General
Member Since: September 2016
Favorite movement or WOD: My favorite WODs are Nancy, Isabel, and Murph.
Class You Frequent: 4:30/5:30 pm with the occasional 5:30 am
Biggest Accomplishment: I competed in the RX division in the 2017 Showdown and my two biggest weaknesses were handstand push-ups and chest to bar pull-ups. Those were the two movements I was dreading for the 2018 Open. I did better in those two open WODs than I expected!! I surprised myself each week in the Open and can see how far I’ve come at Southie!!
Fitness Goal: I would love to get a muscle up. Hopefully by the 2019 open!!!
My Favorite Part of Crossfit: My favorite part would have to be the community. Crossfit Southie is the biggest box I’ve belonged to but even after my first WOD I felt a part of the community. There is always someone willing to help as well as someone to cheer you on!!! The many outings are always a great time too!!!
