How were you introduced to Cross Fit & How long have you been doing CrossFit?
I was introduced to CrossFit from a good friend of mine Victoria who happens to be a member of CrossFit. It will be three years this coming November that I have been training with the CrossFit crew. As Victoria puts it “I have turned you into a beast” ! LOL
What made you decide to join CFM /RCFEW
Victoria helped me decide to join CFM/RCFEW. She insisted that I attend a class with her, instead of doing a class with her, I payed a visit on a Saturday and join the Monday. I had no clue what I signed my self up for.
Favourite Lifts/ Wods?
Squats and dead lifts/Partner WODS
3 Things you would definitely find in my fridge…
Sweet Potatoes, Eggs & Veggies
Favourite place to eat
Chinese takeout and Swiss Chalet
Guilty pleasure…. The Keg’s Billy Miner Pie !!!!
Proudest Accomplishments:
I think the proudest moment for me was finally getting out of my comfort zone and trying something that forced me to think outside of the box. Get the courage to take the risk and feel a sense of accomplishing in finding my physical and emotional strength. CrossFit gave me the motivation to push my boundaries of personal and physical strength.
Something people wouldn’t know about me:
I love to travel and watch my weekly series (Shades Of Blue, This Is Us, World Of Dance ….)
Biggest struggle in life?
The lost of my mom
Do you have a mentor, or someone you look up to? If so who?
My older sister Antonietta ( who tells everyone we’re twins… she 8 yrs older than me lol ) who is a great, strong women and is there for me.
Who inspires you?
People who have a story to tell and come out of it stronger and healthier minded!!
What music I like listening to while working out:
Any upbeat music, top 40 and definitely Latin music ?
I must say it has been a great journey doing Crossfit and being at CFM/RCFEW. The coaches and members have been so supportive, encouraging and helpful. They have helped me become a stronger person, which I didn’t think I was capable of becoming. I have to send a shout out to my 6:00 AM crew. You guys rock…. you make the challenges more bearable to get through. Thanks for the moral support… xoxo
