Tell us about yourself
I am married to Curtis with a 4 legged kid (our Boston Terrier Higgins). We have lived in Hamilton for over 25 years and are from Windsor originally.
What got you into CrossFit?
I was looking to find something fitness related that I enjoyed, and based on a friends recommendation I started doing boot camp. The gym I was going to stopped boot camp classes but assured me CrossFit was the same! Not sure I agree but I fell in love with it!
What do you like about Alchemy?
The coaches are amazing, and I have met so many great people. I also love that I just have to show up, and someone will tell me (several times some days) what I need to do. The variety in workouts, and that they are adjustable based on skill level, injuries or how you are feeling that day also helps.
What has been your proudest moment at Alchemy?
My first rope climb!
What are your CrossFit goals for the future?
A pull-up ... just one is all I ask!
If you could design the perfect workout, what would it include?
Lots of variety - devil's press, tire flips, wall balls.
What's the biggest change you've seen in yourself since you started CrossFit?
Functional fitness - being able to put my suitcase in the overhead bin on a plane or carrying mulch to the backyard without problems.
When you're not at the gym, what's your favourite thing to do?
I love to travel. We also have a boat so being on the water and reading is a perfect day for me.
What’s your favourite local Hamilton food spot?
Joya Sushi for takeout, Rapscallion for eat in
