Name: Nerija or Neri if that’s easier
Occupation: Nurse
How were you introduced to CrossFit? How long have you been doing CrossFit?: My best friend and old rowing partner opened up a gym of her own with her boyfriend in BC and when I went to go visit her she had me hooked. I’ve been doing CrossFit for 2 months now since I got back from visiting her.
What made you decide to join our gym? Good vibes from my first session and great energy in the gym.
Favourite lifts/WODs. Why?: I love all the powerlifting components (squats, deadlifts, bench). I’m also big fan of any WODs that are done for time as well as any WODs with some rowing involved. They make me feel strong and I love picking a pace and sticking with it until I get it done.
3 things you would find in my fridge. Eggs, Balderson cheddar and chipotle mayo
What is your guilty pleasure? Having 🍷in a bubble bath while watching reality TV.
Proudest accomplishments: doing varsity rowing while being a full time student in nursing school.
Something people wouldn’t know about me: I speak 3 languages fluently.
What music I like to listen to while working out: any rap or pop music from the 90s and the 2000s. Can never go wrong with Miss Spears.
