How did you get into CrossFit? In 2012, Lululemon was doing free CrossFit classes for their community workouts one month and I did those. As a former gymnast and group exercise junky at the gym I fell in love with the mix of heavy weights and gymnastics movements. I visited a few different CrossFit boxes with friends over the next couple months and ended up joining Silverback.

Favorite movement or WOD? Anything with a heavy barbell. I love bench press and the workout DT (deadlift-hang clean-shoulder to overhead).

Why have you stuck around so long? I love that everything is laid out for me each day and that it’s always changing. Some days I love it and others I hate it but I always come back for more.

Fun fact people don’t know about you? I was a cheerleader all through junior high and high school.

What are you most excited about as a coach at CFSB? I’m looking forward to meeting more of the members that I don’t normally see and being able to help people progress in their CrossFit journey. Maybe one day I can help someone hit a new pr or get a new skill.

  • Favorite movement? The Power Clean
  • Hobbies or what do you enjoy outside of CrossFit? Traveling and spending time with friends and family. Outdoor fitness (running, hiking, and biking). Life is busy so I also really enjoy quiet time at home.

  • How long have you been doing CrossFit and how it has changed your life? I have been doing CrossFit since 2012. CrossFit has given me strength and endurance I did not think I would have at my age. The workouts and training have helped me develop mental resilience that have translated into other aspects of my life. CrossFit has been a great way to push myself out of my comfort zone and continually learn new skills and is a great stress reliever at the same time. Awareness and importance of nutrition is something I have become more aware of since making good choices is what helps fuel our bodies to do all these fun and exciting workouts.

  • Favorite movement? My favorite movements are wall balls, deadlifts, and the assault bike. A perfect WOD for me would be a 20 min AMRAP of an ascending rep ladder of these three movements. And for fun, I like to pull out the sleds for extra work. 
  • Hobbies or what do you enjoy outside of CrossFit? I love spending time with my husband and son, often trying out new restaurants or watching historical documentaries. My passion for years was running, and I still enjoy going for a jog listening to some great tunes. You will find me with a book at every opportunity that I get.

  • How long have you been doing CrossFit and how it has changed your life? I joined CrossFit Silverback back in 2013. I was a mom to a nearly 3-year-old struggling with my weight and energy.
