What do you enjoy most about being a member of CrossFit Middle Village? Being a member of CrossFit MV I enjoy the most how helpful everyone is. The staff and the members are always encouraging and friendly. I really enjoy that it is a true judgement free zone and everyone wants to see everyone else succeed.  

How/when did you get involved in CrossFit? I started CrossFit about 3/4 months ago. 

What was your first CrossFit workout? How did you feel afterwards? My first workout was foundations with Julia. We did a lot of different movements with the PVC pipe, and I remember going back to my car and not being able to lift my arms to hold the steering wheel. I thought what have I gotten myself into! 

What do you enjoy most about CrossFit?  In CrossFit I enjoy the most the coaches ability to tailor any workout or exercise to my individual fitness level. All the coaches are amazing at working and creating a movement that can be done with my limited range and mobility.  In addition I enjoy the workout session structure and the variety of workouts . 

What is your favorite WOD or Lift?What is your least favorite WOD or Lift? Squats on Mondays is my favorite. Least favorite - overhead with barbell

What motivates you? How has CrossFit changed you?  Showing up and being consistent has been a huge motivator for me. Carving out a time to make the 915 am class "my time" has also really made it a part of my routine. CrossFit has helped me become stronger. I remember my first wall ball and attempt at a wall walk! Now I can see the progress in those 2 movements. 

What were your goals when you started this journey ? My goal was to become stronger when I first started. 

What are your goals for the upcoming year?   Continue to work on proper technique, 

Do you have any advice for new members? Keep at it, make it a routine, enjoy it, don't be afraid to try new things.
