I received a gift certificate and my journey began in January 2008.  Yes, 8 years ago and a founding member.  Time flies! First impression was indifferent.  It was an environment which I never experienced.  I was skeptical and ready to “return” my gift certificate.  Has my first impression changed?  Absolutely! As with most things that are worth sticking with you have to give yourself time to adjust.  I used my entire gift certificate and been a member ever since.  I drank the Kool aid and I am hooked.

My first achievement was making it through the warm up.  I’ve had many achievements since then, thank goodness. Over the years while doing CrossFit I participated in a nationwide CEO fitness challenge, attended the CF endurance coaching seminar and competed in 12 triathlons.  I also achieved many goals inside the box with Olympic lifts and metabolic conditioning workouts.

 As with all CrossFitters I have a laundry list of things I am working on.  My main focus is a recent challenge from coach Kim to improve my current deadlift personal record by 30 pounds.

My favorite Jaguar memory is the early days of CrossFit Jaguar and how I found BFFs coach Paula and Sandy.   The 3 of us are a force to be reckoned with :)  Also love the fact my nephews are part of the CF Kids program. For me being a part of CrossFit Jaguar has been a fantastic life changing experience.  The energy and support from the community is amazing.  Being a part of the box’s business growth and watching the growth and achievements of the members and coaches over the years is very rewarding,  I look forward to many more years to come!
