September 2023 Member of the Month: Kim

Congratulations to Kim, our Mischief Member of the Month for September, 2023! Kim joined CrossFit recently as a way to get back into fitness after having a child. She is always very receptive to feedback and positive in each class. It has already impacted her life by being a great way to start her day by clearing her mind for the rest of the day. Kim also hopes that it can be a good way to show her daughter how to be strong, determined and how to always challenge yourself.

What motivated you to start CrossFit?



For years I loved doing at-home strength based workouts, but after having a child I realized it was getting way too easy for me to talk myself out of working out at home. My cousin told me about CrossFit and it seemed like the perfect combination of exercise and community that I was craving at this stage in my life.

How long have you been doing CrossFit?



2 months

How has CrossFit improved your daily life?



I love being able to start my day doing something for me. It really helps put me in a good headspace for the rest of the day.

How do you stay consistent with your training?



I guess I decided that if I am going to financially invest in myself this way, then I need to show up consistently. Those no-show fees are pretty motivating too; I just can’t bring myself to literally pay for my laziness.

What do you like most about CrossFit Mischief?



I am really impressed with how the coaches modify workouts. There really is something for every ability level. The community is beyond welcoming as well. Everyone wants each other to succeed.

What is one goal you hope to achieve with joining CrossFit?



Model strength, determination, and confidence to my baby girl as she grows up.

Favorite CrossFit exercise?



Kip swings are fun when my hands don’t slip :)

Favorite healthy snack?



Fresh seasonal fruits/veggies

Favorite cheat food?



Ice Cream

One Interesting fact about yourself?



I competed in a mini indoor triathlon sprint in March.

I visited the gym a few days as a Drop In while traveling through the area. Very friendly and welcoming coaches and members. I will definitely come back next time I’m in the area.

I recently restarted CrossFit after a 6 year hiatus. I tried several different gyms, but just couldn’t find my community… until I walked into CrossFit Mischief. This is a great group of humans all around. From the coaches to the members. Eve
