Meet Michelle!
Michelle has been a member for 8 months and is often found in the 6am class. Here is what she had to say!
What is a fun fact about you that no one at the gym knows?
Most weekends from April through October, you can usually find me glamping in my 5th wheel trailer at a campground at the Jersey Shore. We are close to the beach and enjoy the area’s wineries and breweries.
How do you balance life, work and making sure to have fitness and health as a priority?
Work keeps me busy, so I have to get my workout in early—I’m a steady 6:00 a.m. regular—or it probably won’t happen. Some days are easier than others, but I try to show up even when I’m not feeling 100%. Now that I’m 60, staying strong and healthy is a priority because I still have way too much fun planned.
What is your favorite healthy snack?
Greek yogurt with berries and granola is my go-to snack, and I also enjoy just about anything with cottage cheese.
What are your favorite CrossFit movements and what challenges you the most at the gym?
I really enjoy movements like squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell work—anything that lets me focus on getting stronger and tracking my progress. Gymnastics, especially pull-ups, and being upside down are the most challenging for me.
