How long have you been doing CrossFit?
I got started because I needed something to keep in shape for the summer of college swimming, and it's been off and on since then.
Favorite Movement?
Everything except gymnastics
What advice would you give to someone who is hesitant to start CrossFit?
I would tell them to come on a Saturday morning, the workouts are a lot more laid back and they can meet more of the gym.
Favorite thing about CCF?
My favorite thing about CCF is how driven everyone is, but also everyone is about having a good time too.
What do you do when you’re not at CCF (job, hobbies, other fitness, etc)?
I do a lot, I work for Americorps and Motor City Brewing, and then I also workout at Optimus. For hobbies I love to find some techno or house in the city.
What is your next big fitness goal?
Well this max out week was a little eye opening, so my goal is to get huge.
