Years/months at DCF: Since July 2017
What brought you to DCF? What makes you stay?
I had joined CrossFit when it was located in that garage, on Poplar, in July 2015. I was a member for about 6 months. I really enjoyed it until it got cold , and we were all crammed inside that garage - Lol. But…….I knew once It moved I was going back - just took me several months to do it! I love love DCF, best hour of my morning…I stay for a multiple of reasons: health, encouraging atmosphere, challenging, community, coaches and fellow members
Who is your hero, and why?
My two sons - they have always motivated me to be a better person! Just a proud momma of two outstanding humans.
I have another hero, who has a permanent place in my heart, Nikki! She is giving, encouraging, motivating, loving and has withstand every obstacle to keep DCF open, along with all the coaches. She went from having other owners to just herself during a pandemic- no less! I could go on and on - Nikki is my hero. My respect and love for this remarkable person is endless
Favorite kind of workout/movement? Least favorite?
Mixture of cardio and weigh lifting. Snatches hate me…..
Short and long term goals for yourself?
If I could do one pull up without bands - just one! That is my short and long term goal
Your best advice for getting fit and living happy?
