I became a member of CrossFit Brunswick eight years ago when my daughter and I signed up for an introductory class together. Until that point, running had been my primary form of exercise. I fell in love with CrossFit’s fitness philosophy and methodology as well as this wonderful community of people. A perfect day for me in the gym is getting in a good, sweaty workout and commiserating with my friends afterward.

When I’m not in the gym, I am busy running Skinny Pete’s Wings and Phillys with my husband, Pete. My son, Raleigh, is a long time CrossFitter and Olympic lifting coach in Indiana, and my daughter, Tori, and daughter-in-law, Laura, both enjoy CrossFit and weightlifting as well. Fitness is important to our family and we enjoy exercising together whenever we can.

Last year I had the opportunity to purchase a share of my “happy place” with Misty Johns. Teamwork is a concept that has always been deeply important to me and I feel like CrossFit Brunswick’s staff exemplifies it well. It’s my hope that we’re able to lead as many people as possible on an enjoyable and safe fitness journey.
