Member of the Month - Chrissi!

I remember first meeting Chrissi in a Free Intro session, almost two years ago (where did that time go!), and being super impressed with her movements and attitude towards fitness. I could tell in that session that she had the drive to get better and likes a good challenge, and I had a good feeling CrossFit was going to be the right fit for her. Since then we have seen her tackle many skills, and try new things! From HSPU, to Chest to Bar, to getting stronger with the Olympic Lifts, she has been very coachable and is always raising the bar for herself. She is determined to keep getting better, and we’re excited to see what the rest of 2024 brings for her. Read more below to get to know her!
