Membership Spotlight March 2019 – Sara VerSteeg!!

What made you decide to try CrossFit?

I was bored of at home workouts and needed a challenge. 😊 Boy Oh Boy, I found a good one at Crossfit ELC. Every day is a new challenge. Boredom doesn’t exist and I love that!

 

What is your favorite part about Empowered Living Company?

The People for sure. It’s a community. They give endless support for one another like a “Family”. They have helped me in my journey to get stronger, confident, badass and beautiful.

 

What’s your favorite movement, lift or workout?

I’d say anything with a barbell, but NOT Thrusters. 😊

 

What’s one milestone you’re most proud of so far?

The Granite Games Throwdown and there is so much more.

 

What are some unexpected benefits you’ve experienced since starting?

I used to suffer from Migraines. I’m not getting them anymore. It’s my stress reliever and a place to just let things go. I go to calm my mind. There is something about getting through a tough WOD that distracts you from life’s stresses. It makes you confident to tackle everyday life obstacles that get thrown your way.

 

What is your next goal you plan to crush?

Handstand walks and Muscle-ups w/o chicken wings and of course I must string more than 2-3 of them together.

 

What advice would you give someone walking through the Empowered Living Company door for the first time?

You won’t regret it. It’s the best! It’s one of my happy places.
