July 2016 Update

CFK Featured Athlete - Shelbi Iseminger

 

We are so proud of all of our CFK Athletes and will be featuring our athletes each month.  This month, we are very pleased to introduce Shelbi!

 

Age: 25

Occupation: Interior Designer

Date Started CFK:  August 14, 2015

 

In general, what is your athletic background?  Primarily Equestrian & Snowboarding - but growing up I dabbled in literally every single sport or hobby I could find.

 

How did you learn about CrossFit Kalamazoo? My husband Jason, who dragged me along kicking and screaming!

 

How has CrossFit Kalamazoo changed your life, lifestyle, and level of fitness? Toward the end of college I had fallen into an incredibly sedentary lifestyle. Since joining CrossFit I’d have to say the best change has been feeling able; being able to do more and proving that my body is physically capable of a lot more than I would have thought possible.

 

List short/long term goals you would like to accomplish through CrossFit Kalamazoo: Short Term, I’d like to get an unassisted strict pull-up under my belt and figure out double-unders. Long Term, I’d like to deadlift over 300#, and increase endurance and intensity in the longer WODS and running.

 

What do you like most about CrossFit Kalamazoo? Honestly, the people; but since that seems to be everyone’s answer… I’d have to say the universal nature of the program. There is a serious misconception that you have to be in peak physical shape to do CrossFit, when in actuality the program is probably one of the most universal in the way in can be scaled and modified for virtually any ability.

 

 

 

 

 

What is your favorite CrossFit movement? Deadlift.

 

What is your least favorite CrossFit movement? Burpees and Running are both pretty horrible.
 

What are you currently doing to try to improve your diet? Trying to adjust my macronutrients, increase protein and reduce carbs.

 

Favorite movie: Office Space.
 

Favorite and/or current book: Currently studying for my NCIDQ certification from the fascinating “Codes Guidebook for Interior Designers”, yay!
 

Favorite music genre/artist: I can never decide, my music library is mostly comprised of alternative, country, classic rock, as well as hip hop from the late 90s and early 2000s.
 

Achievements you’d like to highlight within your life: Finding success in my career at such a young age & marrying the love of my life in the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  Also, I have the most incredible parents, who have supported me unconditionally through all of my crazy life decisions.

 

List a few things we don’t know about you: I hold two bachelor’s degrees which I completed simultaneously, I won a state title for polebending in high school, and was a snowboard instructor for seven years.

 

In 10 words or less, what does CF mean to you? Being capable of things that previously seemed impossible.

WE ARE JUST ORDINARY PEOPLE DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS!

Try A Class - Now Offered Every Saturday! 

We will be opening up our Saturday 10am WOD as a time for CFK Athletes to bring friends and we will be inviting others who want to try CrossFit to this class!

 

This option will allow you to join our CFK Athletes in a partner WOD and you will be encouraged to do it at your pace.  This is a great opportunity to try out a workout at our facility, visit with our CFK community and be a part of the Community that makes CrossFit Kalamazoo so great!

 

The cost to join this class is $10 (limited to newbies to CrossFit and does not apply to experienced CrossFitters dropping in).  If you sign up for our On-Ramp class, the $10 intro fee will be applied to the cost of the On-Ramp class. After the first class you may still attend the Saturday Partner WOD as a non CFK member by purchasing a $15 Standard Drop-in.  

 

Please call 269-251-1677 or send an email to reserve a spot and please arrive 15 minutes early so you can stretch and complete a waiver.

On-Ramp Classes

Our On-Ramp class provides coaching in a smaller group setting and is mandatory for those who are new to CrossFit.

 

This class is programmed to teach you the movements, techniques and lingo and is an hour in duration.  We want to ensure that you have a good foundation built before you jump into our regular WOD!  The cost of this class is $65 (up to 8 classes scheduled over a 2 week period - 5 are mandatory before you move on to a regular WOD)

 

Classes are scheduled Monday through Thursday at 8:00 p.m.   If you are not able to attend this scheduled class, we can reschedule as needed & there will be an additional $10 per class for any class done outside of our regular time slot. Call Coach Tim at 269-251-1677 for more information.

 

Please join me in welcoming our newest On-Ramp graduates!
