Watching my girls play sports
 
How did you find out about Mi5? 
I live close by and saw the Mi5 CrossFit Lakeville sign.  I looked them up online and stopped in for a free class.

 
When/How did you realize CrossFit/Mi5 was the right fit for you? 
I wasn’t sure after my first class - I only made it half way through my first CrossFit class.  Andrew called me after the class and suggested I start with some Boot Camp classes.  It just felt right after that.  The friends I have made and the encouragement they give me is unbelievable.

 
What is your favorite WOD/movement? 
Bench press, Overhead Squats and Back Squats

 
What is your least favorite WOD/movement? 
Burpees and Sit outs and of course RUNNING

 
What would your perfect WOD look like? 
 Bench press for sure, pull-ups and some rowing

 
What is one thing you have been able to accomplish since starting at Mi5 that you never thought you'd be able to do? 
Lots of things!  I never walked into a gym until I was 42 years old, I’m proud that I have been able to complete the Murph 3 times and I’ve shown improvement every year
J
 
What motivates you to stay fit? 
I have 2 daughters, I want them to know that you can do anything at any age.

 
What is something about you that Mi5 members do not yet know? 
I don’t cook much (no surprise to anyone) but I make really good homemade spaghetti sauce – thanks to my Italian grandparents.

 
What advice would you give to someone just getting started at Mi5?
Stick with it, you won’t be disappointed!

I called Andrew's Liftetime Fitness business card. Andrew actually trained me 15 years ago. I tried going back to lifetime on my own, but couldn't stick with it, so I called Andrew up and he said he'd just opened a new gym. He's been a huge help in my life.
