October 2026 Member of the Month Shilpi


Shilpi joined Mischief about 5 months ago after having her baby. She was a little hesitant at first, but it didn’t take long for her to get comfortable and become a regular at the 5:15 AM class. She has become a big part of our morning crew and continues to show up, work hard, and make progress. We are so glad she decided to give Mischief a try and are so happy to have her as part of the crew! ❤️

Congratulations, Shilpi!

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
