If you had to say something to someone looking to try CF for the first time, what would it be?
Do it for yourself for the long run. The time you put into your health and fitness will resonate positively through to your home and work lives and the people around you. Remember, it’s a marathon, every small change you make daily adds up
How did you get started with CrossFit?
I was lucky enough to have Dave start before me, the man just wouldn’t stop raving about it so eventually, I gave in. He has the tendency to egg people on.. you’ll see.
How do you find/make time to get your workouts in?
This is a mental game – just do it and it’ll be done.
What is one fun fact about you that we may not know yet?
I’m a Dutchie – don’t look it at all, I wasn’t gifted with height or blonde hair but I am pretty frugal.
In your opinion, what is the biggest benefit of exercising?
It energises my day! Even today I was feeling a little lethargic so did 50 burpees before completing a work site inspection (it must’ve looked pretty ridiculous but who cares!).
How has being a member at CrossFit Oxygen helped you on your fitness journey?
The community has been a great motivator, we all encourage each other through the tough sessions. The best thing is, everyone has their own benchmark and internal dialogue on what they want to reach, we’re all supportive of that.
What is your favourite movement/type of workout?
Burpees have grown on me.
What is your least favourite movement/ type of workout?
Any overhead arm workouts, these chicken wings struggle.
What is your biggest CrossFit accomplishment so far?
Getting the movements a little more acceptable (and actually knowing the names of movements).
What motivates and inspires you?
Food. And beating Dave in Metcons (serious motivator).
