3. When did you become a member at CF WOR?
Dccember 2014
4. Have you noticed any changes – physical or mental – since starting CrossFit? If so, what?
I have! I have experienced physical changes in weight loss, body fat % and BMI. Initially, that is all I was concerned about, but somehow this becomes secondary to the mental strength, and confidence that I have gained through CrossFit. I have grown stronger physically in so many ways! As an athlete in high school & college, I knew the importance of working out, & always tried to stay active. I have worked with personal trainers and participated in boot camps over the past several years, but I have experienced more changes in 3 months than I saw in years of doing it on my own. I can’t wait to see what the next several months will bring.

8. What motivates you during a WOD?
The sense of accomplishment is my greatest motivation. Just knowing that I finished it.
9. What goals do you have for yourself as a CrossFitter?
To get stronger and better at lifting. To conquer pull-ups, hand-stand push-ups, wall-climbs & double-unders.
10. What do you think sets CrossFit apart from other forms of fitness?
Seeing and feeling results quickly is a HUGE motivator. Seeing a move or WOD on the board that you don’t think you can do and doing it anyway.

Be patient! If you have to scale, you are still getting a better workout than you would anywhere else.
