Evelyn's Story

What brought you to the CrossFit Closer family in the first place?

Truth told, I was a regular gym rat at the time, six days a week mostly running and following an online strength program. Fitness is therapy for me so after doing that for two years, I found myself not wanting to go to the gym any more as I wasn’t motivated. I needed someone to push me. A friend told me about CrossFit and I found CrossFit Closer in the neighborhood close to work. I attended a tryout class and the rest is history.

What's your proudest moment so far?

That’s a hard one to pick. I find every day I am doing something I never thought I would. I have had so many great moments with PRs and finally achieving a skill (bar muscle up), but I think I have to say that my proudest moment was coming in third at a masters’ competition I participated in in September. I am proud not simply for the fact that I came in third, but more so because I had fun, I was calm throughout the day and I know I did my very best.

What's your best / funniest CrossFit Closer story or experience?
​
Well, this is not quite CrossFit related, but it did happen at CrossFit. I think I recently had my first senior moment when I was asked to turn on the music just as a WOD was about to begin. After trying unsuccessfully to turn the screen on to press play, I was told that the phone was upside down and I was pressing on the speaker slot.
