If you had to say something to someone looking to try CF for the first time, what would it be?
Try it! CF may seem daunting and overwhelming at first but if you are looking for the perfect mix of weightlifting and high intensity then you have come to the right place.
How did you get started with CrossFit?
I started CF in 2017 when I was bored of regular gyms and boot camps. CF was what I was looking for and I haven’t looked back since.
How do you find/make time to get your workouts in?
I put it in my calendar and make it a priority. It helps knowing that even when I am not at my 100%, I can still come in and do something rather than doing nothing.
What is one fun fact about you that we may not know yet?
I love Star Wars and can talk about it for hours!

Exercise has a lot of benefits but the biggest one for me is the positive impact on mental health.

What is your least favourite movement/ type of workout?
BURPEES
