How long have you been CrossFitting? Since moving to Cayman - I started in December 2021. Prior to that I had done CrossFit for a few years from 2011 through 2014. 

What is your favorite WOD/Exercise?  I like "Helen" a lot. My favorite exercises... Power Cleans, and Bar Muscle-ups. I spent a long time practicing to get bar muscle ups and then be able to link them together!

What is your least favorite WOD/Exercise? I think I have to pick burpees.

What is your previous workout/athletic background? I grew up playing hockey, and starting working out in college. I have been pretty consistent since then with some type of regular fitness routine. 

What was your first experience at CrossFit Cayman like? It was good. A little intimidating starting at a new gym, but the coaches and people were friendly and I quickly became comfortable. 

What results have you seen since CrossFitting? I have seen an overall improvement to my fitness - stronger, faster, etc - and I have been more engaged in my fitness since there are so many skills and challenges to tackle through different movements and WOD's. It's much more fun than working out alone!

What do you do to get yourself through a tough workout (mental thoughts, tips and tricks, etc.)? I try to set small, but challenging goals - I.e. I can take a quick break after X reps, or after this movement. I also like to count and figure out what percentage of the work I have completed - "60% done those burpees".

What's your favorite aspect about working out at CrossFit Cayman? Fun workouts, nice coaches, and people!

What advice do you have for someone thinking about joining CrossFit Cayman? Try it out - Nothing to lose by trying a few sessions, and you might find something you really like.
