🌟 How long have you been a member at BCF? And what got you started?
I joined BCF May of 2021. I've done CrossFit on and off since 2009, and I was looking for a challenge to get me out of my routine and back into a gym with a community (and a bit of competition).

🌟What do you like most about BCF?
The community (specifically the crazies at 6AM and the less enthusiastic 7:30ers) and any time Aaron programs heavy lifts without "fitness" mixed in.

🌟How do you keep yourself motivated?
My primary motivation is staying strong enough to keep up with and/or lift my extremely active children. Also, my wife kicks my ass in all workouts that don't include a slow, heavy barbell, and that helps push me to do better :-).

🌟What are your current Crossfit goals?
Conquering movements like pull-ups and doubles -- things that stop me from RXing workouts. Also, better cardio...can always use more of that. But really, I mostly show up for the big lift days.

🌟What advice do you have for beginners of CrossFit?
Don't sweat when you can't do movements or have to scale. Even the best CrossFitters have their weak spots. Also, barbells are fun :-).

👏🏻 Consistently👏🏻 Killing 👏🏻It!!
Another solid round of PRs - back squats, deadlifts and other RX movements!
This board will be wiped clean to get ready for your 1RM Front Squat PRs on Monday!!
Get some good sleep & eat well this weekend!

✨Baby News!✨
Ballard Crossfit is excited to welcome their newest little member!
Coach Corley gave birth to her son Camden on March 26th. Mom & baby are doing well! She will be taking a break from coaching for a bit as they get settled into life as a new family of 3!

🌟Member Spotlight: Joanne Esteban🌟

🌟How long have you been a member at BCF? And what got you started?

When I moved to Seattle from Boston in the Fall of 2021, I was looking for a local gym to get back into fitness and find a community.

🌟What do you like most about BCF?

Love, love, love the community! Everyone is so friendly and inspiring, and making friends at BCF has been the most rewarding part of moving across the country.

🌟How do you keep yourself motivated?

Getting to see my friends! Also, wanting to stay fit and seeing progress. I can only do both by being as consistent as possible. Being full body sore after too much time off is also awful.

🌟What are your current Crossfit goals?

To feel comfortable in the barbell movements I haven’t done before CrossFit - really looking forward to Barbell Club for this! I also want to be able to learn some gymnastics movements I still haven’t figured out, and eventually get to a point where I can lift Rx.

🌟What advice do you have for beginners of CrossFit?

Don’t be discouraged if people who have been going for years can do things you can’t, and do feel inspired by them!

Thank you for the kind and inspiring words, Joanne! We love having you at BCF! 👏🏻

🌟Out with the old, in with the new🌟
New jump ropes are at the gym!
Ropes should come and go in the same fashion - color coordinated and hanging as such!
Happy Dubs, BCF!
