WENDY ORELLANA
I have watched Wendy just about every Saturday and Wednesday take on CrossFit and CircHIIT back to back. Never ONCE complaining. She gets is done. She is eager to learn and appreciates when a coach coaches her. She welcomes learning how to be better with movements and practices until she hears "yes that's it." She always walks in with a smile and walks out with an even bigger one. She is pleasure to have in class and as a part of our community! Congrats girlfriend! Great way to start the year and can't wait to see how you finish it!

Do you have any advice for new members?
Coming in new is always hard. I felt intimidated and also afraid of not knowing what to expect. However, everyone starts and builds themselves up. I have learned that it is important not to compare yourself to others. Everyone is on a different level. We all start as beginners and what's amazing about this community is that no matter your level of expertise you will not be judged.
