When did you start at Crossfit Southie?
Feb 2020
What is your Favorite movement and WOD?
Squats! Any kind- front, back, box. DT hero WOD has been my favorite thus far.
Which Class do you Frequent?
4pm during the week. Weekends vary
What has been your biggest accomplishment so far?
learning how to do kipping pull-ups
What are your Fitness Goals?
Get strong AF! And master the snatch
What is your Favorite Part of Crossfit?
Pushing my body to do things I never thought I was capable of and feeling the sense of accomplishment after finishing a crazy WOD or heavy lift.
How did you get involved in CrossFit and what was your first WOD/experience?
I’d been lifting and strength training on my own for a couple years and decided I wanted to find something where I could meet people who enjoyed working out as much as I did. I was really nervous to go to CrossFit for the first time, but it’s the best decision I’ve made! My first WOD included toes to bar and double unders; I couldn’t do either, but did my best to push myself.
What are your hobbies outside of CrossFit?
I love doing anything active and outdoors; hiking, boating, paddle boarding, going to the beach, etc., and spending time with my new puppy!
What’s a “Fun Fact” about you?
I’m obsessed with Cheetos, the crunchy and puffy ones
What did you do for exercise while CFS was closed during quarantine?
CFS at home WODs of course :). I also did my best to run a couple days a week.
