MEMBER OF THE MONTH II Emily Horsman
Ten years ago, Emily walked into CrossFit a little nervous and more than a little intimidated. What started as a way to get back into working out has become so much more.
CrossFit has brought better health, a strong community, a way to manage stress through tough times, and something she genuinely looks forward to.
Her favourite lifts? Deadlifts and power cleans. As Emily puts it, if one of those shows up in the WOD, it’s going to be a great day!
One of her proudest moments came just four months into CrossFit, when she stepped outside her comfort zone and completed her first Open. She surprised herself with what she could accomplish — and that feeling has stayed with her.
Today, her goal has evolved. It’s no longer about fitting into a certain pair of jeans. It’s about staying strong, healthy and moving well for as long as possible — with 100 as the goal!
After a decade at CFPC, Emily still calls it her peace and happy place, with the people and coaches being a huge part of what keeps her coming back.
Her advice to anyone starting out? Give it time. The movements may feel uncomfortable at first, but stick with it, learn the lifts, find your rhythm — and before long, you might just get hooked.
Emily, we are so lucky to have you as part of the CFPC community. Congratulations on being our September Member of the Month!
