How long have you been doing CrossFit
and what was your athletic background
before CrossFit, if any?
I've been with Alvin CrossFit for about 2 1/2 years.
I ran cross country and track in high school. -
Is CrossFit different from what you thought
it was before you came in? How so?
I thought CrossFit was something only famous
people did. -
How does CrossFit compared to any other
training you've done?
Any training I did was definitely on my own and
most likely wrong. I never knew what to do and
always lost interest quickly. -
Why did you start?
I could tell I was becoming more and more out of shape. But it wasn't until a co-worker of mine joined a local box and I saw amazing results with her in a short amount of time. She was so enthusiastic about CrossFit. I wanted to feel the same way as she did about working out. -
Why do you keep coming back?
The friendships I have made along the way definitely keep me coming back. It's my happy hour! -
What are your biggest accomplishments or what are you most proud of?
I'm pretty proud of the amount of weight I can lift. A 275 lb deadlift and a 230 lb back squat. I never would have imagined I could move that kind
of weight! -
What is your favorite CrossFit movement?
Anything with heavy weights like power cleans and back squats. I also like wall balls. -
What is your favorite healthy meal?
Definitely turkey meatloaf muffins that I learned how to make while doing the 28-day challenge with Alvin CrossFit. -
What do you enjoy doing away from the box or tell us something about yourself?
I enjoy watching my son play football and run track for Alvin High School, hanging out with my CrossFit friends and reading. -
Any advice for new members?
Don't be intimidated and come give it a try. If there's something you're afraid you can't do don't worry; everything can be scaled to your ability.
