April 2023 Member of the Month: Antoniya

Congratulations to Antoniya, our Mischief Member of the Month for April, 2023! She has been doing CrossFit on and off for 6-7 years, all while juggling the busy workloads from college, various jobs, and currently PA school. She somehow still manages to make time to coach at the gym, as well as workout when she has rare breaks in her busy schedule. Beyond her normal fitness regime, she competed in a CrossFit competition this year and impressively took second place! Additionally, she also participated in this year’s CrossFit open, where she improved from 73% last year, to 84% this year! Although busy, Antoniya makes the time to get into the gym, push herself, and continues to get better and stronger. She has a friendly, warm and goofy personality that makes members laugh and brings a fun atmosphere to the gym. We are grateful to have Antoniya as a coach and member of CrossFit Mischief!
