For March let’s introduce Sarah! She’s a bit newer to our community and we are so glad she has stuck around.
Sarah is a phenomenal athlete and always a pleasure to have in class! Describing Sarah as just “coachable” would be an understatement for her willingness to learn and improve. She meets every workout head on (and with a smile), and on more than one occasion I’ve seen her even give our coaches a run for their money – not to mention she’ll walk down just about anyone on a running workout. Sarah is a rockstar!

Let me tell you about Sarah! Shes a silent warrior, in that she comes into class everyday ready to take on whatever challenge is presented to her, without any fuss or self doubt, she slays her workouts, giving 100%. Her work ethic is something to be admired! She’s incredibly friendly to her fellow athletes and coaches and she will always show you her smile after a workout, no matter how grueling it was. She’s an absolute winner in my book and a pleasure to have around.

Sarah has been so much fun to watch grow and develop over the past 7-8 months or so. She is constantly striving to improve. Willing to put in the work where others aren’t. Her smile and attitude is infectious…in an industry that allows you to get lost or sidetracked at times as to why we do this, Sarah helps bring me back to the roots of Crossfit. Move better, be better, feel better… I hope that the gym means as much to her as she has meant to us.

1. How long have you been doing Crossfit? And how long have you been at Crossfit RX? I’m new to CrossFit and have been at CrossFit RX since August 2017
2. Why Crossfit? I love the combination of movements that CrossFit emphasizes and that it combines weightlifting with gymnastics and various other movements. The high intensity of the workouts and the emphasis on functional fitness is important to me. CrossFit makes me feel strong. Crossfit provides a mental and physical challenge. I find the CrossFit athletes inspiring and the coaches at CrossFit RX are supportive and encouraging.
3. What are some of your hobbies outside of the gym? I have a cookie business as a side hustle. I bake and decorate cookies for weddings and birthdays.
4. Favorite and least favorite movements? My favorite movement is swinging from the bar;I love kipping swings and knees to bar. This movement is fun and makes me feel like I’m playing on the jungle gym. My least favorite movement is the front squat, I’m working on improving my mobility to accomplish this movement.
5. Name one thing you’ve accomplished in Crossfit, and name one goal you are currently chasing. I love CrossFit because it’s a series of small accomplishments that add up over time. Last week I added a plate to make my box jump higher and I was so happy! It’s the best feeling in the world. I’m moving like I never thought I would be able to. I can squat and jump; these are movements that couldn’t do before CrossFit. I have two prominent goals that I think I’ve let every coach know about: a pull up and a handstand.
6. Favorite food or meal? I love falafel wraps.
7. What is something people would be surprised to know about you? I grew up in Florida and I love to fish.
8. Favorite piece of advice you’ve gotten in Crossfit? Coach Guy set me up for success when I was doing my training sessions with him. He gave me three pieces of advice that have resonated with me and I think of often when I’m working out. Number one : it doesn’t get easier; you just get better. Number two: stay in your lane; don’t compare yourself to everyone else. Number three: it’s easy to find an excuse; don’t find one.
