How has CrossFit changed your life, lifestyle, and/or level of fitness? CrossFit has taught me that fitness is not one size fits all. As long as you get out and move, your body and mind will thank you for it.
Who or what motivates/inspires you to keep coming back? The entire community that i1uvit has. I get excited to come and workout with people who are so genuine and kind. It's a great atmosphere, one that constantly makes you a better athlete and person.
What is your proudest CrossFit achievement? It's not a specific moment in particular, it’s the fact that I’m getting better at something each and everyday. Each day brings something new to be proud of.
Name one goal you are working for and would like to achieve through CrossFit? Right now I am just trying to get better. Being so new to CrossFit means there’s a lot to learn. I am just trying to take in as much information as I can while continuing to having fun, and of course getting fitter in the process.
Hobbies/Interests outside of CrossFit? Skiing in the winter and hunting in the fall. Other than that, school.
Any advice for new members? Don’t be intimidated. Come regularly and have fun with it.
Any additional thoughts/shout-outs/comments: Would just like to thank all of the coaches and members for making my first year of CrossFit an absolute blast. Couldn’t be happier with my decision to join i1uvit.
