Tell us about your sports & fitness background.

Cheerleading took a big place in my life! I started competitive cheer when I was about 6 or so and did both school and competitive cheer about all the way up to high school. In the middle of all that, I started CrossFit and fell in love at first lift!

How did you first get into CrossFit? How did it go?

My dad and older sibs got me to try it out and I ended up falling in love with the sport. My first ever CrossFit workout was a little scary at first but then I just grew to love it! All the people and coaches were so friendly, welcoming, encouraging and most of all, loving!

What sort of changes have you seen in your body, health, and fitness since starting CrossFit?

Ever since I started this program, I have gotten so much stronger and I feel so much better about my body. I’ve been hitting new PR’s, getting new movements down, and my results on workouts keep improving and I can’t wait for what this sport has in store for me!

What impact has CrossFit had on your life?

Going to the gym is always on my mind, with that being said, it helps me eat right, stay out of trouble, and be responsible about all my decisions.

What is your advice for people getting started or thinking about starting CrossFit?

Take a chance and try out this sport and you might just fall in love like I did… yes, it’s scary at first, but walking in that door for the first time was the hardest part! It keeps me thriving, healthy, fit and loving life! Best decision I ever made!

What are your hobbies, interests, and other talents outside of CrossFit?

I love to be outdoors, go on adventures, be with my family, love on my pets, and spend time with true friends.
