What led you to try CrossFit?
I started working out at Titan when my Crew coach quit, and my school could not find a replacement. I had attended a few workouts with my parents at Titan and enjoyed the experience.
Why do you continue to CrossFit?
The people at Titan are very welcoming! Coach Nicole and Coach Carlos support and encourage the teen classes. I enjoy CrossFit's challenge and like seeing my own progress.
Describe how your attitude towards health and fitness has evolved since you began your journey. Initially, I was intimidated by the other athletes and was nervous to work out in the classes. I found that if I showed up consistently, I saw improvement. I learned that everyone is there working on their own goals, not worrying about what I am doing. The more time I spend at Titan the more interest I have in health and fitness. As I prepare to apply to college, I am considering health and wellness as part of my future career.
Share a memorable CrossFit moment that makes you laugh or puts a smile on your face.
I love working out with Coach Nicole and playing rock, paper, scissors, shoot, or using the climbing ropes as big jump ropes! The Titan Open and Reindeer Games were fun, too! I always enjoy my time at the gym, and the people I have met are all supportive and fun!
What are you proud of and why?
Each day I get a little stronger and closer to some of my goals. I almost have my toes to bar and hope to have pull ups soon!
What's your advice for other CrossFitters or people looking to start?
My advice is to show up and be consistent.
