 Laurel is a regular in the 6am class. although she does like to sleep in sometimes:) Laurel, Why do You do CrossFit?What was your fitness life like before you started training with True Spirit CrossFit? I had been into long runs and long bike rides and had fitness in my life, but as I hit a certain age, I started felt like I had plateaued with motivation and my fitness routine. I wanted to do things, but was losing strength and energy and finding myself hurt a lot. I was frustrated. So I know I needed a change, and I wanted to do more strength training. I didn't know what CrossFit was but wanted to really shake up my routine and get out of my comfort zone. I was told about TSCF gym, and it seemed a welcoming place to explore CrossFit, and figure out how to push myself in different ways than what I had been doing. What motivated you to walk through our door? Similar to above. I was told by a good friend about Leslie and got online to explore what CrossFit was, and what True Spirit specifically had to offer. I had struggled to find a good gym that appreciated that athletes come in all shapes and sizes and ages, and one that wasn't just focused on the elite endurance culture but supporting wellness and competition for all. and for everyone working hard at all levels of fitness. True Spirit not only seemed welcoming to all who wanted to challenge themselves physically, it was clear from my first intro to the gym, that it was a place where could learn, push yourself to new physical challenges and be clearly supported in whatever fitness goals you laid out. What was your first impression? Has that changed? My first impression was it was a welcoming place that would support me in learning how to do CrossFit, and in challenging myself to get more fit. That has not changed. Its only been confirmed. What was the first thing fun or positive thing you experienced while training with us? I have really enjoyed my past 6 months, but I loved Row'd Royalty, and look forward to doing that again. Also, getting my first PRs on different things has really helped me better understand different tools I can use in building fitness, and the ways I can push myself more. Are you working on any special CrossFit related skill now? Jump Rope is the bane of my existence, do what to get to double unders. Then Pull up, then rope climb. Feeling very weak in upper body. How has you life changed since training with TSCF? I will say its opened up my eyes, to many different ways to work out. I love learning about the technical and science side of CrossFit. Also, I started in September and then went through a really challenging time personally, and TSCF was not only the one consistent thing I had during the week, I looked forward to going, and it helped me better manage my stress and health during a challenging time. I am not sure what I would have done without that community and consistency each week. After every workout, I felt energized and strong and more resilient in facing quite a few challenging days. What's your favorite True Spirit CrossFit memory? I loved the holiday workouts in December and the holiday Reindeer Games and party. Fun community, fun workouts and then the gift exchange. Just really cool memory, and again, gave me some fun things to do and think about in a challenging time. I will say though, in a short time I have really been racking up a lot of good memories! Look forward to more. Do you have someone in your life that needs True Spirit CrossFit?Our Friends and Family Challenge is going strong! In fact, Laurel just referred TWO friends to us!

 You're back on the erg today Every day this week you will meet a different CrossFit Femme Fatale. A Femme Fatale is an irresistible, alluring and seductive woman who leads men into difficult situations. Don't you think that is an appropriate description of the CrossFit "Girl" workouts? They are seductive and alluring and every time we meet them we find ourselves in a difficult situation.
She is the second most popular Femme according to our people's choice poll from last week. This lady's history is a bit blurry. We know she's been around at least since Nov 27, 2007 as that's when CrossFit published a video demo of her. She first appeared with a different box height (20” instead of 24” for men). However, if you search for her on the CrossFit Mainsite she is elusive. Perhaps that's part of her allure? In the CrossFit forum, user Mark Brinton attributed the workout to “CrossFit North” (CrossFit’s very first affiliate – near Bellevue, WA USA). Brinton first cited it in the CrossFit Forum on June 7, 2006 as one of the workouts that gym used to “evaluate new members.” How would you have liked your very first CrossFit workout to be the one we are doing today? She most recently appeared on the CrossFit Mainsite on September 8, 2021. We most recently did her for 2022 Femme Fatale Week.  Kerri and Kristina jump for joy in the 5:30pm class. They are both dong Femme Fatale Week and think you should, too! Friends and Family |
