Growing up I always wanted to do gymnastics, but with a large family and limited resources it was never a possibility. When I started CrossFit I saw a woman doing bar muscle ups and thought, "I'll never be able to do that but I wish I could." After three years of work, with amazing coaches that poured into me, I was able to do 20 unbroken bar muscle ups

I grew up in the Rogue Valley, coming from a large family of 9 children. My oldest brother was just starting to get into bodybuilding and weightlifting. As a younger sibling, my twin sister and I wanted to be just like him, and we started doing home workouts. We bought some dumbbells and kettlebells and did what we could. After watching the Games, we knew we wanted to join a CrossFit gym. For our 18th birthday, we bought a one-month membership and have been doing it ever since.
Coaching has been such a joy to be able to help others find what works for them and how they can accomplish their own goals and dreams, whatever those may be.
My favorite thing about CrossFit is the community. The encouragement, competition, and friendship -- it is truly spectacular.
