2- How were you introduced to CrossFit & How long have you been doing CrossFit?
I have friends who are avid CrossFiters, and I am inspired by how they built a community and changed their lifestyles. I tried my first class in early February and officially joined a couple of months ago, and I think I’ve been bitten by the CrossFit bug already.
3. What made you decide to join our Gym?
I first heard about CrossFit Colosseum through my boxing gym, and it stood out as a really warm and welcoming community where I felt I could be comfortable starting something new. From my intro and fundamentals with Eve, I immediately felt both supported and challenged in the right way. The combination of great coaching and a welcoming community made it an easy decision from the start.
4. Favourite Lifts/ WODs? Why?
I’m still exploring, but I’d say anything that really challenges me. I enjoy workouts that push me out of my comfort zone and make me feel stronger—even if they humble me a bit 😅
5. 3 Things you would find in my fridge?
Eggs, Coffee Beans and Green leaves
6. Proudest Accomplishments?
Moving from Brazil to Canada and embracing (real) winter!
8. Something people wouldn’t know about me? I’m a trained barista… so yes, I take coffee very seriously lol
9. What music I like listening to while working out?
Anything upbeat that keeps me moving!
