How long have you been coaching?:

I got my CFL1 in November of 2022 and started coaching in January 2023. I’ve been doing CrossFit for 11 years so not sure why it took me so long! 

​

 

Why CrossFit?:

In 2013 I started a job in Bellevue and a coworker was doing CrossFit on her lunch break, I tried it once and was hooked. It was the most challenging but most rewarding workout I had ever done. The best part is the best friends I’ve made along the way and that I just get to show up and someone has already planned my workout. 

 

Favorite Modality or Benchmark workout and why:

"Grace" and "Annie"- I love anything with dubs!! And "Grace" because it’s short but challenging and really fun to see improvement if even by a few seconds. 

 

Favorite Cheat Food/Meal:

A burger and fries!!!!! 

 

What is a song you can find on your workout playlist? (What can a member expect to hear when you are coaching?):

most the time you will find me playing old school songs specifically a playlist called “jock jams”. Lately I have been liking the CrossFit games mixes. Anything upbeat that I can sing to while I’m coaching!

​

Best advice to a new prospective member trying CrossFit for the first time?:

Keep an open mind and have fun! And mostly importantly don’t compare yourself to others, we were all beginners at one point!
