CONGRATS TO OUR OCTOBER MEMBER OF THE MONTH OUR LOVELY MEMBER ROSE!
Name (nicknames) Rosie, Ro-Ro
Occupation: Branding and Promotional Manager
How were you introduced to Cross Fit & How long have you been doing CrossFit?
I learned about Cross fit through my best friend. She’s been doing it for years and was always convincing me to try it out! I really don’t know why I put it off for so long because I’m really into trying out new things! One day I decided to do some research I came across Rebook Cross Fit E. Woodbridge, did my first class with Sascha (she’s freakin amazing!) and have been hooked since! I have been doing Cross fit for less than 1 year J
What made you decide to join CFM /RCFEW
I wanted to join Cross fit because I really wanted to try something new. I felt strong, but I wanted to be stronger. I wanted to learn the different types of lift techniques and just by watching my friends do all sorts of cross fit competitions, I knew this would help me. It also helped that Rebook Cross Fit E. Woodbridge was literally 5 minutes away from my work
Favourite Lifts/ Wods?
My favourite lifts are definitely back squats (tempo =D)… I also like cleans, but still not 100% there yet. I definitely still have so much to learn!
3 Things you would definitely find in my fridge…
All sorts of salad leaves, cheese and coconut water
Favourite place to eat
Any sushi or Italian restaurants
Proudest Accomplishments:
My proudest accomplishments were when I did my first half marathon in San Francisco 2 years ago and first Iron Girl Triathlon last summer. Both were such an experience and I couldn’t be more proud of my finished times🙂
Something people wouldn’t know about me:
I don’t eat meat
Biggest struggle in life?
My biggest struggle in life would probably be not having my mom around as much as I wanted her to be. She was always working to provide for us. Thank goodness I had my older sisters around who pretty much raised me
Do you have a mentor, or someone you look up to? If so who?
Definitely my mom! She raised 5 children and did everything she could to get us where we are. I’ve always looked up to her for as long as I could remember and she has always brought out the best in me.
Who inspires you?
A lot of people! I think I’m easily inspired by anyone that brings out a positive attitude in life and genuinely wants the best for me and other people around them.
What music I like listening to while working out:
I like listening to old school 90’s music for sure!
I want to thank all the coaches at Rebook Cross Fit E. Woodbridge for their hard work and dedication! Thank you for bringing out the best in me and pushing me during every WOD! Though I’ve only been here for a short matter of time, I already feel like I belong :)! Thank you thank you!!!
