How long you have been a member at CrossFit Hurstville? 8 Months
What motivates you to get to the gym everyday?
The gym is my “me-time”. Between being a mother to my 3 wonderful girls under 6 and work (and life!), “me-time” is rare.
What are your current training goals?
To complete the CFH Kona triathlon with our team of 3 within the capped time. In the gym, I am aiming to improve on pull ups, double unders and handstand holds.
Favourite Exercise/Crossfit movement?
The Rowing Machine
Least favourite exercise/Crossfit movement?
Burpees… Can’t pinpoint why – it’s just everything about them..!
What has contributed to your success in the last month?
I do my best to consistently attend classes and have some awesome coaches and friends at CFH who have been generous with their advice and time. I have also learned a lot from the monthly skill sessions (including doing my first handstand on the wall!). My husband (who recently joined CFH) and I enjoy CFH together.
In 50 words or less describe your CrossFit Hurstville Experience?
Prior to joining CFH, I had not done any meaningful physical exercise for at least 7 years and I didn’t know anything about crossfit! I chose CFH for the 530AM session time and I’m glad I did.
