How did your journey with CrossFit begin?

My journey with CrossFit began in 2016, a year after my oldest son was born. I needed to do something to improve my physical health to be the best possible version of myself for my son and myself. I remember driving by a CrossFit gym and seeing women lifting barbells, and I was instantly inspired. I thrived from the sense of community and the outpouring support and learned that this was generally the culture of the CrossFit community across the WORLD. My passion for CrossFit grew when I saw what it was doing to my physical and mental health, all while having fun and addicted to the adrenalin of the workout and amped about what the next day’s workout will feel like.

Why do you love coaching CF?

When I coach the 5:30am class, I love seeing how motivated and dedicated our members are while the rest of the world sleeps. It motivates me to get my workout in too. But the main reason I decided to coach is because Makers CrossFit coaches had a huge impact on my health and wellness. I hope to be that and do that for others as well.
