How long have you been CrossFitting? A year and a half

What is your favorite WOD/Exercise? 

I love any WOD that includes running, squatting or box jumps :)

What is your least favorite WOD/Exercise? 

That would definitely have to be burpees and snatches, and I say it very proudly.

What is your previous workout/athletic background? 

I was always sporty, and I played some volleyball in school, but nothing professional.

What was your first experience at CrossFit Cayman like? 

I started at CrossFit Cayman because of my family, and I remember being really scared and thinking that I would never get even close to everyone else’s level, but all the trainers gave me a very warm welcome and I immediately felt like everything was going to be great!

What results have you seen since CrossFitting? 

I am way fitter than before, that’s for sure. The big change for me was that I have improved my stamina so much, and I feel way more agile. I work with kids running around all day, so I think that just made everything soo much easier.

What do you do to get yourself through a tough workout (mental thoughts, tips and tricks, etc.)? 

I try to find a person that I can keep up with so I maintain a good rhythm.

What's your favorite aspect about working out at CrossFit Cayman? 

The CrossFit Cayman community is just so great. Everyone is really nice and supportive. I also love how the coaches know you better than you know yourself. They know exactly how far to push you to get significant results, and they motivate you to keep going!

What advice do you have for someone thinking about joining CrossFit Cayman? 

Don’t think! Show up to one class and you will see immediate results. Add great people to that formula and you have the perfect place to get your workouts done :)
