We service clients throughout the state of California, the Western United States, and when we are feeling brave international to South America, Europe, and the Middle East.
3. Tell us something people might not know about you:
I was an athlete in a prior life and got stuck in the work-all-day world. At one point I was 335lbs. Not my happiest or healthiest.
4. What brought you to CrossFit in the first place?
I quit taking care of myself because of my work life and found CrossFit because I felt like I was missing something. My wake-up call was a conversation with a BSCF coach and it was a very short unpleasant but necessary.
5. What was your first impression? How has that changed?
My first impression was It hurts so bad but then you laugh, you feel better, and come back for more. There is the process. You feel better, come back for more, and then it’s fun.
6. What was your first “bright spot”?
My biggest Bright Spot is that My BMI last year was 43% and basically a year later with just the correct diet and exercise today my BMI is 18.2%. I have been able to do all this with the help of BSCF and also working one on one with Build Better Fitness. Recently I’ve been able to climb a rope and do assisted pistol squats in a workout.
7. What are you working on now?
I would like to get a ring muscle up one day, My goal is +/- 10% BMI and I don’t care what the scale says or how long it takes me to get there. I will meet my goal with the help of the BSCF team and Build Better Fitness.
8. What’s your favorite Beachside Crossfit memory?
Too many memories to choose my favorite. Beachside CrossFit is a fantastic community of people living a healthy way of life and it’s not complicated so come have fun and CrossFit can travel with you around the world.
