How has CrossFit changed your life, lifestyle, and level of fitness? I have seriously tried every FAD diet you can think of! I've had gym memberships that i sparingly used. My first intro camp class at I1uvit i knew i was hooked! CrossFit has changed my body, my way of thinking, my way of eating, definitely in a positive way! I feel like i am in the best shape of my entire life. I no longer think of working out as a chore, everyday I check my phone at 8pm to see what tomorrows WOD is so that i can prepare for it mentally and physically. I can't imagine my life without CrossFit.
Who or what motivates/inspires you to keep coming back? Coaches, the programming, other crossfitters. All the coaches at i1uvit are genuinely caring people, i like that there are CrossFitters from all walks of life, it is an all around great atmosphere. Add them both together and its just like one big family. #i1uvit
What is your proudest CrossFit achievement? I set a goal to get a 300# Deadlift and i got it! Toot Toot!!!
Name one goal/personal achievement you would like to achieve through CrossFit? Climbing the rope. When it comes to climbing i have 2 left feet.
Hobbies/Interests outside of CrossFit? There is a War Canoe racing circuit that I race in every weekend from May until the end of August. There are crews from many different tribes/bands in Canada, Vancouver Island, Lummi, Swinomish, Nooksack. I love paddling. There is nothing that gets my adrenaline going like the start of a canoe race. I love hanging out with my family, I'm lucky enough to have a million cousins that live close, so we always get together for birthday parties and dinners. I really just enjoy being surrounded by friends and family.
Any advice for new members? 1. Use plenty of chalk. 2. Don't worry about matching your outfit, I'm not judging.
Any additional thoughts/shout-outs/comments: Special Shout out to my Mate Joey Joshua! Without him I couldn't be a Mother, Paddler, or CrossFitter!
