"Active" and "Competitor" were two meaningful words that I learned when I was just 3 years old. Growing up, I competed in gymnastics for almost 10 years. Shortly after, I began dance lessons at the age of 14. I remained in various forms of personal fitness throughout college, but it wasn't until I joined the corporate world that I craved high intensity fitness. From barre to cycling, I was still searching for something that would fill that high intensity void. Then, Hurricane Harvey hit and life as I knew it took a detour. Never lifting anything I considered "heavy" before, I sustained an injury moving furniture. My normal fitness routines aggravated my injury, but I knew I wasn't going to back down and sit out. I remember being told, "CrossFit is intense. It's almost scary. You wouldn't like it, they're mean!" So, I Googled it. "Functional movements and physical preparedness". At this point, it was either this or Physical Therapy and CrossFit sounded more fun. My reason for joining CrossFit has progressed through healing from an injury to a passion for continuing to gain endurance, focus, strength, willpower, and memorable, life-changing friendships that have evolved me from who I was to who I am capable of becoming. Looking back on what seems a fleeting moment in my life, has completely altered many aspects of my life for the better. I know now that I made the right decision and I'm incredibly happy that I did.
