Tell us about yourself:
My name is Erik and I am 7 years old. I just finished 2nd grade at the Pierpont Elementary school in Ventura, CA. I am born in Wolfsburg, Germany and I’m here for three years because of family matters.

What is your favorite subject in school? Why?
My favorite subject in school is reading because you can learn a lot about things and you can read about long and short adventures.

Tell us something people might not know about you:
You may not know about me that I like going in the water, listening to audiobooks almost all the day and I am really interested in fossils from dinosaurs.

What brought you to CrossFit in the first place?
My school sent out a paper with all kinds of activities around the Ventura area. I picked CrossFit and I still love it.

What was your first impression? How has that changed?
When I looked into the gym I thought it would be a lot of fun and really nothing has changed to it.

What skill are you working on right now?
I am working on Burpees right now. I have to practice Sit-ups as well but I don’t like to do them so much.

What’s your favorite Beachside CrossFit Kids memory?
My favorite memory regarding BSCF was after a really long time of Zoom classes I could finally go into the gym again 🙂
