What led you to try CrossFit?
I first started CrossFit because I wanted to get stronger and increase my fitness to help my chances of success in a scholarship program.
Why do you continue to CrossFit?
I have continued it because I enjoy the workouts and feel that I am improving each week.
Describe how your attitude towards health and fitness has evolved since you began your journey.
I’ve always been pretty conscious of my health and fitness, but since starting CrossFit I’ve realized how much of what you get from it is consistency and how it really is a lifestyle. When I’ve been taking days off for various reasons I find myself wanting to get back to it.
Share a memorable CrossFit moment that makes you laugh or puts a smile on your face.
A good moment for me in CrossFit was a couple weeks ago with rope climbing. It was a part of the workout, but I didn’t think I’d have the strength to do it. But Carlos, the trainer that day, helped me figure out the footing and I managed to pick it up pretty quickly. I was surprised and proud that I could do it.
What's your advice for other CrossFitters or people looking to start?
Some advice for newcomers I’d have is to try and have a competitive spirit about it. I always find that when I’m doing a workout, seeing how other people are doing makes me want to do at least as good. Even if I can’t quite reach the mark, I still do better and feel like I put more work in than I would have otherwise
