I found CrossFit in 2013 just after graduating from the University of New Hampshire. A friend of mine asked me to go along to an introductory class at a CrossFit gym near my house and I only decided to go because I felt bad she was going alone. I am forever grateful for that day as it introduced me to entirely new way of living. I immediately fell in love with the workouts, the lifestyle, the mindset of those around me and the community. It often felt more like playing than it did working out. I soon found the competitive side of things and learned more about nutrition, recovery, and the world of CrossFit as a sport. Just this year I started coaching at CFP and I couldn’t be happier with the family I have found here. What I love most about CrossFit is that it means something different to each and every person who walks through the door, but that we all share this common interest in bettering ourselves, continuing to learn, and being a part of something so much bigger than ourselves and our reasons. I feel like coaching at CFP is one of the greatest jobs in the world; getting to share what I love with people who WANT to learn every single day doesn’t much feel like work at all!
