Meet August member of the month Dana Dwyer !
Q: What brought you to SLSC originally?
A: I was a Track and Field athlete in college so I’ve always enjoyed weight lifting and wanted to try CrossFit but was way too intimidated. Once I walked past the gym on the street with the garage door open on a summer evening, it looked so fun I had to try!
Q: What’s your favorite movement or workout—and your least favorite?
A: Favorite movement is box jump overs, least favorite movement is anything related to a pull-up.
Q: Proudest gym moment so far?
A: Participating in my first Murph and all 3 workouts of the 2026 Open.
Q: What’s something surprising people might not know about you?
A: I am a Physical Therapist working in a hospital so functional mobility and strength training is something I preach all day every day to my patients, especially the older ones!
Q: What’s your go-to hype song or workout playlist vibe?
A: Misery Business by Paramore or Victory Lap Five by Fred again..
Q: Favorite post-workout meal or treat?
A: Anything with chocolate.
Q: When you’re not training, what are you up to?
A: Hanging out with my 2 cats Tibby and Bean :)
Q: Any advice for someone just getting started at SLSC?
A: Just start!! SLSC is the most welcoming and inviting space to start something new. The coaches and programming make it easy to scale a workout to exactly where you are at, all while making it accessible and safe. But also challenging and fun!
