Hey Friends!
It’s that TIME! Yesssssss – we get to highlight another of our amazing members. This month we’re stoked to feature someone who may not always be IN the gym, but heading abroad to help those in need, or to the far north for the same reason, isn’t a bad reason to miss your training from time to time. It isn’t every day someone uses their vacation to volunteer abroad, or in some of the more secluded parts of our own country. We’re very proud and excited to spread some of the good vibes of this member, as they’re always doing it when they’re in. June’s “CrossFitter of the Month” is…

What was your exercise experience prior to CrossFit?
Prior to CrossFit, I did a lot of jogging and my own workouts at the gym. I used to be a lifeguard and was the Aquafit instructor so I did a lot of aquacise and swimming. In my younger years, I did Tae Kwon Do and sports such as Track and Field, Flag Football, Volley Ball and other team sports.
How long have you been doing CrossFit and why do you choose CrossFit?
I have been doing CrossFit for over 3 years now and I absolutely Love it! I love how no matter what, every single workout is a challenge, and how it’s constantly varied so you never plateau.
What is your favourite part about CrossFit?
I would have to say that my favourite part about CrossFit is the community. Everyone is so encouraging, friendly and just all around great people. I have felt welcomed since day one!
What are the accomplishments you are proud of? (Crossfit or non-CrossFit related)
Crossfit related: I am proud that I can do a strict pull-up and a rope climb.
Non-crossfit related: I am proud of my career and being accepted into the Nurse Practitioners program. I am also proud of being a fur mum to my great dane and how she was involved as a therapy dog with Magical Paws for a few years. Lastly, I am proud of the humanitarian and travel nursing that I have done which includes: Vietnam, Guatemala, Kenya and of course Attawapiskat. I feel so humbled when I visit these places and it truly gives me a different perspective on life.
Favourite Workout or Lift?
My favourite WODs are the really long ones-like Murph! I love them because you may not feel so good during them, but you feel so accomplished afterwards. I also really enjoy any Workout that involves running!
My favourite lift would have to be the clean because I find it is one of the easier movements for me lol.
Anything else you would like to add, please feel free :)
I would like to Thank Adam and Kristin for running such a great gym and I want to Thank all of the coaches for being so dedicated to helping everyone achieve their goals!
