What keeps you at CrossFit Silver Fox?
I'm addicted to the results I get from the workouts. Having a trainer right there pushing you has made a huge difference.

Biggest Improvements/struggles with CrossFit?
I’ve improved my cardio and running. I started running outside of the gym
now too! I do struggle with nutrition outside of the gym though.
·
How many days do you train at CrossFit Silver Fox?
Depends on my schedule. I average 3 days a week
·
What makes your come in and train on days when you don’t want to?
I just force
myself to because I know I always feel better after a workout. Excuses
don’t burn calories!
·
What is your approach towards nutrition?
I love food and I
like to eat healthy. I do give myself “cheat days” though.
·
If you could design your own workout
I’d call it the “Sarah” where we power nap for 20 min

Favorite Benchmark workout?
Cindy

What is the most challenging part of your CrossFit journey?
It’s
tough getting a PR when lifting. It doesn’t happen every time we go for
one, so it makes me want to work harder for next time.
·
Super Power you would want most?
Oooh, I’d say invisibility.
·
Any advice for new comers?
CrossFit Silver Fox is a wonderful gym. We have great people and friendly competition. People really cheer for and push each other during workouts. Your accomplishments are celebrated and your struggles are improved upon. Enjoy the workouts and the results will follow!

Running

Name something about yourself that is a little known fact.
Not a lot of people know I come from a huge
family. There were 7 people in my immediate family growing up!

Accomplishments at the gym. PR’s, Weight Loss, etc?
My name is up on the board for heavy power cleans and presses, but my biggest accomplishment has been losing 30lbs in the past few months! I also started running outside the gym and did my first 5k this summer.
