What motivated you to start CrossFit?



My ass was starting to attach itself to the sofa and I needed to get some activity in my life. But after giving the big gyms lots of money and never going, I knew that I needed something more. So I decided to give it a shot and got hooked almost right away.

How long have you been doing CrossFit?



Just over one year. This is my first time doing CrossFit.

How has CrossFit improved your daily life?



It's kind of an overall thing. I have a reason to get out of bed in the morning. I have more energy. And I can wear skinny jeans now.

How do you stay consistent with your training?



It's just part of my routine now. Like brushing my teeth. And I get super irritated when I can't go. So my family never encourages me to skip.

What do you like most about CrossFit Mischief?



The members and the coaches. I've made friends, which has made me happy. I also like the feedback from the coaches in technique, which has helped me tremendously.

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



Not dying über young. Getting bikini ready for the summer.

Favorite CrossFit exercise?



Toes to rings

Favorite healthy snack?



My homemade granola

Favorite cheat food?



This month it's been the raclette sandwich at the Christkindl market in Aurora!

One Interesting fact about yourself?



I've been working toward a private pilot license. I can land an airplane by myself (with a licensed instructor sitting next to me).

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.
