How has CrossFit Warehouse changed your life, lifestyle, and level of fitness?
Crossfit has had a huge impact on my life. I not only feel better about myself, but I have also made some really good friends! I also, am in better shape now, then when I was in college. Making crossfit apart of my daily routine helps me make healthier life choices. I focus on eating healthy and getting 7-8 hours of sleep.
List short/long term goals you would like to accomplish through CrossFit Warehouse: Short term goals.. I have a lot! But overall I would like to be more proficient at kipping pull ups, learning how to handstand walk and do ring muscle ups and just being consistent with good form. Long term goal.. would love to be able to compete in the crossfit games when I am in my 70s!
What do you like most about CrossFit Warehouse?
The support from everyone! I signed up to run a marathon and didn’t think I could do it. I was talking to Ross and Veronica and they said they were running it to. So all summer they trained with me and got me through it! Kelly also ran with me during the week and Im a better runner because of her. There were so many people who helped encourage and motivate me along the way and I am so grateful for that. I don’t think I would have ran it without everyone’s support! So thank you crossfit family!!!
