Why did you start crossfitting or fitnessing?

I started CrossFit to supplement the running that I was doing. At the time (October 2016) I had just finished running a marathon and was looking to do some sort of fitness during the winter time. My friend Susie Cunningham suggested I try CrossFit 563 with her and I’ve been doing it ever since.

What do you love most about working out and why do you continue to do it?

I love the way it makes me feel! It’s nice to earn the pain from each workout!

How has it impacted your life beyond inside the gym?

CrossFit has sent me on an entirely new path. So much so that I’m currently working on a fitness business related to functional fitness.

If you NEVER had to do one exercise movement again - what would it be?
