What made you decide to try CrossFit?

I decided to try CrossFit after watching others come and go from class with smiles on their faces! Knowing they were working hard, I went! I’ve been addicted since. It’s not workouts I’d do by myself so feeling like I accomplished something works for me!

What made you decide to try Yoga?

I started with yoga to try to regain some length in my sore muscles and to relieve some stress from my busy life!

What is your favorite part about Empowered Living Company?

My favorite part of ELC is hard to choose! The workouts are AMAZING, the people you meet are more than AMAZING and the coaches are FABULOUS! If I have to pick just one however, it would be the feeling of being a part of something big!

What’s your favorite movement, lift or workout?

Right now I love anything with weights! DB Snatches and Deadlifts are feeling stronger every time!

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

Milestone I am most proud of is getting out of my comfort zone and participating in “The Murph” on Memorial Day! That was fantastic! And I finished!!

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

Most definitely the uplifting, friendly atmosphere, everyone’s there for each other while we are each there for ourselves…the total acceptance! At the end of the day we all come to better ourselves.

What is your next goal you plan to crush?

I have many goals to tackle but the biggest one now is to keep getting “uncomfortable” in my workouts to keep pushing to progress! Shave some time off here and there and also to maybe succeed at doing an unassisted pull-up within the next year…maybe 2!

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

Want to know why I smile and light up when given the chance to chat about ELC? Just come! I could give so many reasons to anyone to come…JUST DO IT! You won’t regret it!
