Why do you CrossFit?

I have tried many different gyms, training methods and programs; CrossFit is the one that truly feels like a sport. Growing up, I played softball and volleyball and loved the competition, the constant drive for improvement and my teams. In CrossFit, I feel those same things, especially when it comes to the “team” feeling. The Crossfit community is like no other, and the level of acceptance and support is what really solidified my love for it.

 

What is your favorite WOD?

I love anything with heavy lifting, especially Deadlifts and Back Squats. DT and Manion are two of my favorite hero WODs.

 

What is your least favorite WOD? 

Anything with high volume burpees

​

What is your favorite cheat food?
Anything Sweet!!!!
