When my basketball career came to an end at Utah State University, I found myself returning back to the summer strength and conditioning program to workout with the girls. Because athletics/ fitness have always defined me as a person, I was so glad to have discovered CrossFit and continue to thrive off of my competitive nature and willingness to challenge my body and mind to the next level. I fell in love (and became addicted) with CrossFit on January 21, 2009. It seemed this was a style of program I had always hoped for; short, sweet, and painful! Luckily I started thriving off this elite program with the help of Brad Thorne at CrossFit Cache Valley, and that April I obtained my Level 1 certification. I enjoy coaching CrossFitters and training as one myself. I find it so rewarding to share knowledge and to teach the techniques involved, that sadly everyday people without CrossFit may have never been exposed to such things as: snatches, deadlifts, wall balls, kettlebell swings, and thrusters. No more boring, tedious, routines and machine work at the “other” gyms! CrossFit has not only helped me gain strength and endurance, but has truly opened my eyes to a healthier happier lifestyle. Hopefully after my husband and I welcome our first baby in October 2010, I will be able to see even more of the great benefits of this elite program with my recovery

Sincerely,
