What brought you to Degree in the first place?

I learned about Degree on social media.  What brought me there was 2 personal training sessions  I bought at a local fundraiser.

What was your first impression? How has it changed?

My first impression was excitement.  I was excited to learn about and start CrossFit. 

I was ready for a change in my fitness routine. My first impression really hasn’t changed. I’m always excited when I receive my personal training programming every Sunday from Kelly. I always have a plan in place to execute the workouts for that upcoming week!

What was your first "Bright Spot"?

I had a lot of successful lifts and improved bench mark workouts at the gym, but a couple of huge bright spots for me were:

1) Completing and receiving my CrossFit Level 1 trainer course

2) Competing in the Festivus Games that Degree hosted in 2017. It was a partner competition. It was super well organized and so much fun! 

What are you working on now?

I continue to work on increasing my cardiovascular endurance and strength. I feel stronger with each sumo deadlift and overhead press workout that I complete, along with using the heavier dumb bells incorporated into my plan. 

What is your advice for someone who is thinking about starting a program at Degree?

My advice to someone who is thinking about starting any fitness program…..is just walk through the door. That’s the hardest part!

Once you are there you are among like-minded encouraging members.

Have a goal. Something to work on. Something for yourself and yourself only….YOUR WHY!! After that, everything else will fall into place:)
