What’s your favorite CrossFit movement, and why?

My favorite CrossFit movement is the handstand walk. I'm a work in progress but I have the most fun practicing this movement. Although a very technically challenging movement, I also find it the most playful!

‍What’s a fun fact about you that most people don’t know?

When I was a teenager I worked at Six Flags as a Looney Tunes costume character. I still remember the choreographed dance to "Celebration" by Kool & The Gang.

What was the most challenging part of your fitness journey?

Getting out of my own way! The most difficult part of my fitness journey has pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I've had days where I want to give up, where a movement feels intimidating, or a lift feels heavy. It's those moments of vulnerability where I've had to push myself past my own perceived limitations... the most challenging moments have also been the most liberating.

What’s your favorite thing about the EXHALE Fitness community?

My favorite thing about the EXHALE community IS the community. EXHALE is a place for us to gather and grind it out together. Regardless of age, gender, background etc., once we step into the gym - we're all here for the same reason: to do the hard work, to be better than we were yesterday, to become the best versions of ourselves - and that's pretty magical.
