When did you first start CrossFitting?
I first started Crossfit in October of 2020.
When did you first start training at Papago?
I started training with Papago also in October of 2020. Prior to my current training, high school was the only
other time I worked out.
Favorite CrossFit skill/WOD:
While I haven’t yet mastered this skill, I enjoy learning/developing my hand stand walks. It is very difficult for
sure but, I like knowing that I one day I will be strong enough to accomplish this goal.
Least Favorite skill/WOD:
FRAN is by far my least favorite of the WOD’s. Thrusters seem to be my arch nemesis.
Tell us about your sports & fitness background:
I come from virtually no fitness background. When I first started Crossfit I must admit I was overwhelmed. The
last time I truly worked out so intensely was in my younger years. Though through perseverance I continue to
show up and do the work.
How did you first get exposed to CrossFit? Take us back to your first WOD… what was it, and how did
it feel?
My friend and co-worker (Cathy Parker) continued to come into the office full of joy, confidence, excitement,
and overall elation. I thought to myself, I want that too. I asked her “what was she doing differently”, she said
Crossfit! I said okay, no thanks. She eventually convinced me to make an appointment with Coach Chris and I
nearly died during the fitness test. But I remember the first thing Coach Chris said to me was listen to your
body. It wasn’t about being the best athlete at Papago. It was about being the best version of myself. I came
back and the first WOD was “The Longest Mile”. Fitting because it seemed to go on forever, but I got through
it. I felt amazing knowing that I pushed myself further than I had in a very long time.
What sort of changes have you seen in your body, health and fitness since starting CF?
I have definitely lost more than a few inches off of my waist. And I am more conscience of what I eat and drink.
Which ultimately helps me through the workouts and everyday life. In total I have lost 20 lbs since October of
2020.
Please share with us any favorite CrossFit moments:
My interactions with all of the coaches are always a pleasure. There is no judgment, shame, or guilt for where
your skill level is when training. Also, I love the support that I receive from the other members. Cheering each
other on to push through your limits and complete a WOD really helps.
Any advice for people just getting started?
Go for it! Don’t wait or continue to let excuses halt or hinder your decision to experience the best of what you
can do. You don’t know, until you know!
What are your hobbies, interests and/or talents outside of the gym?
I love hanging out with friends and family outside of the gym. Relaxing, joking, and laughing in a safe and
judgement free environment is the best medicine for me.
