Tell us about your sports and fitness background?

I have always been involved in fitness and exercise. I started teaching aerobics about 16 years ago and then moved into teaching spin (after cycling around europe following the tour de france route). Apart from being at different gyms most my life I have always enjoyed running and cycling.
What’s your profession?

Director of Sales – Localist. I look after the sales, customer service and design teams.  Which is very different from banking where I worked for around 8 years previously.
How did you get involved in CrossFit?

My husband had been going for a year and was trying to talk me into it – I was still trying to recover from my third child so was “comfortable” at my spin classes. He came across Andfit (where he was competing at) and suggested I try the three week beginner class…and then that was it, I was hooked.
Do you remember what your first WOD was?

Not really though I am sure it had running  (which was great) but also remember kettle bell swings and box jumps (where I couldn’t even jump on a box I had to use a plate)
When did you start coming to AndFit?

July/August 2012
What is your favorite WOD/Movement(s)? Least favorite?

Favorite ones are ones which have running, burpees, push ups etc and not too many heavy weights. Less favorite – Anything with cleans.
What are your short term and long term goals of CrossFit?

Short Term: Master double unders,
Long term: Complete the WODS RX.

What is your biggest accomplishment in CrossFit so far?

I have had mainly smaller ones – like doing handstands against wall, doing full push ups in WOD’s, doing a few strict pull-ups in a row….am sure there is a lot more to go yet!
What is something that we don’t know about you?  (Interesting fact, accomplishment you are proud of, obscure/unique talent, funny story, etc.)

I have actually competed in a national bodybuilding competition….a LONG time ago.
Any advice for people just getting started?

Give everything a go and start small…amazing how quickly you build your fitness and confidence.
