Congratulations to Eddie & Miranda Betances! They will be the holder of the prestigious "The Sheila" trophy. They will take good care of her.
Eddie and Miranda are pleasures to have in class. CrossFit Silver Fox is lucky to have such a hard working, motivated, and fun couple at the gym.
Eddie is a chronic 5:00am'er. You may even see him double up and come in with Miranda at 5:00pm.
Eddie Started towards the end of September and has really excelled. He's a hard worker, he's extremely coachable and has made tremendous gains since joining. We asked Eddie some questions about his time with us...enjoy.
What made you want to join Cross Fit Silver Fox?
I wanted to join CFSF because I wanted a new challenge and something different from the everyday normal weight training I was doing. I had heard of Cross Fit and snickered at the idea of trying it but after trying it and those two first introductory classes I was hooked.
What is the biggest thing you've noticed since you began?
My wiener, lol. I have noticed a decrease in body fat that I was not seeing just lifting weights and dieting.
What have you improved the most in?
I have improved the most in leg strength since before CrossFit I really only did legs once a week. I did not like to do legs and concentrated on upper body strength but now I actually enjoy leg day which is everyday.
What do you enjoy?
I like the feeling of accomplishment I get when completing a WOD that I didn't think I could get through. When you come into the gym look at the board and say oh shit this is going suck that is when you know your going to have a good time and a great work out.
What differences have you noticed in yourself since joining?
I enjoy getting out of bed early every morning and look forward to seeing what the WOD is. Every morning my wife calls and asks what did you do today and she can't wait to find out what she's in for in the evening class. I truly enjoy working out now and I am not just doing it to keep in shape I am doing it for the gratification that comes along with pushing yourself and getting to that next level of fitness.
What is your Kryptonite?
Cardio, I need to get my stamina up. I don't mind doing it and I know my cardio stamina has increased but it is definitely one of my weaker areas. Also good beer, because it’s good.
What do you love the most about CrossFit?
I really like the variety that CrossFit gives you, never the same routine, always different, challenging and you can push yourself as hard as you want and you always want to push to get better. Compared to other gyms I have been to CrossFit offers you camaraderie with other members since we are all pushing each other and encouraging each other to do better each day.
What do you like the least?
There is really nothing I don’t like about CFSF, I have seen great results in myself and my wife in such a short time frame.
What are your future goals at the gym?
My future goals at the gym are to keep increasing my cardio stamina and get a leaner physique by increasing my reps each and every WOD.

Miranda began in early October. She's an extremely hard worker. She is an absolute pleasure to have in class and is really enthusiastic about her PR's. She has made crazy progress with her strenght. Don't mess with her!!!!
What made you want to join CrossFit SilverFox?
I joined because I was wanting to start working out/getting into shape. Eddie had already been coming for a couple weeks and liked it, so he signed me up.
What is the biggest thing you’ve noticed since you began?
Since I joined, I do feel like I have gotten stronger. Just doing certain everyday stuff that requires strength seems to be easier.
What have you improved the most in?
I think I've improved most in having proper form for the strength exercises. Unless I'm working on a PR, then I just look like it's my first day lol
What do you enjoy?
I enjoy coming in and completing a challenging workout!
What differences have you noticed in yourself since joining?
Im feeling more confident in what I'm capable of doing. I feel comfortable trying something I may have not tried before because I thought it would be too hard.
What is your Kryptonite?
Sweets and desserts. I feel great after a good workout, then I go and eat something that's just no good, yet it's so good ;)
What do you love the most about CrossFit?
I love that CrossFit incorporates a variety of workouts. And I enjoy pushing through the workouts with others, all on different fitness levels. Even tho we are working on personal accomplishments, it's like we are all working together. I love that the WOD is set up for you with someone coaching you through it.
What do you like the least?
Ugh those push-ups! Or even worse handstand push-up........modified even!!
What are you future goals at the gym?
My future goals at the gym are to work on my upper body strength, stay in shape and to continue seeing improvements in my accomplishments.
"THE SHEILA"!
