What were a few of your goals when you started at CrossFit Kalamazoo? 

When I joined CrossFit Kalamazoo, I had the goal to cut weight and gain muscle. I wanted to discipline myself to be more consistent in my workout routine. 

What are some newer goals you have set for yourself?  I have set the goal to compete in a CrossFit competition and clean up my diet in order to enhance my performance.

What keeps you coming back to CrossFit Kalamazoo? 

I continue to come back to CrossFit day after day because of the atmosphere it offers. The workouts are intense but the other members are extremely encouraging. In addition, I enjoy not having to think about what I am going to be doing every day in the gym. I like just going into the gym and having a pre-planned workout that is going to challenge me.

What motivates you? Being able to track my progress and watch myself get better and grow motivates me to hit the gym. When I don’t feel like going to the gym or just don’t feel good in general I always know that after a hard workout and a lot of sweat I will feel better both physically and mentally. CrossFit is an amazing way to release stress and that motivates me to continue going.
