1.What was life like before you became a member?
I was struggling with my body changing. I had a hysterectomy at the age of 39 due to uterine cancer. I never could lose all my weight or tighten my core no matter what I did.
2. At the time you enrolled, were you already exercising? What was your previous background in fitness?
I never exercised in a gym; however, I was always physically active in my everyday life.
3. What originally prompted you to seek us out?
I needed a change both physically and mentally. I was on Facebook late at night and saw the Keystone CrossFit six-week challenge and decided to sign up.
4. What was your goal when you originally signed up?
I am not sure… I guess just to challenge myself.
5. What have you liked best about working with us?
The community! I love how everyone encourages you no matter what level you are at, and everyone treats you like family. It truly is a family that you become a part of.
6. What are you most proud of achieving since you started?
My proudest achievement started when I completed the six-week challenge and became a member.
7. With everything that you have accomplished, has your view of yourself changed?
You can’t help but change your view of yourself. You get to challenge yourself every time you enter the building.
8. What would you say to anyone else who might be dealing with any similar struggles you did?
Just do it, you will have no regrets. Any accomplishment, small or big, is extremely rewarding to yourself.
9. Do you have any special moments/memories?
I remember my first class was Burpee‘s and running and I thought I was going to die my youngest son John who also did CrossFit for a while said just keep showing up it will get easier and he was so right.
10. What is your favorite movement/lift?
I love deadlifts and anything from the rig.
