How long have you been at CrossFit Border? Coming up to 12 months I think.
What do you enjoy doing outside of CrossFit? Running, training with my hubby, being a mum!!
What is your favourite and least favourite movements or WODs? Favourite moves hummmm chins or pull-ups!! I also love any WOD that has running in it, wall balls or anything thats going to smash my cardio!! Least favourite moves involve anything that goes over head, especially over head squats, I find them really uncomfortable and struggle with the movements.
What your biggest achievement so far? At crossfit I’d say getting my strength and fitness back after having my beautiful boy.
What are your future goals? To continue mastering new crossfit moves and improving on the ones i struggle with. To make my muscle up much more elegant!!!
Any advice for anyone just starting their CrossFit journey? Just give it a go!! Don’t worry about what you may or may not be able to do, I can guarantee you will end up surprising yourself!!! No one here at the box will judge you for what you can or can not do, we’re just one happy extended family!!
Tell us something we don’t know about you. Haha!! There are probably good reason why you don’t!! Before coming to Oz I worked in South Africa for 12 months rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned lions (am also a vet nurse!). Whilst in Africa I did cage diving with great whites and did the worlds highest bungee (216m) twice!!!
Who’s you box buddy? For a long time coach Dan was my main box buddy in the 7pm classes as i’m usually on my own in these classes!!! More recently Frank, Grace, Amy have done a few 7pm classes but generally its just me and the coach!!
