When, how and why did you get started with us?

I first started doing cross fit 2 years ago. Previous to starting at Crossfit Claremont I really struggled with social anxiety around attending group fitness activities so I joined with my best friend/housemate/safeplace Becca! I have since learnt that there is nothing to be afraid of! Everyone is so damn nice and up for a laugh.

What would be your dream workout?

This is a tough question.. anything with box jumps, burpees and lunges. What workout would you want to avoid?

This is an easy question... anything with overhead presses in it. Favourite Crossfit Athlete? (doesn't have to be someone famous)

Nate is my favourite CrossFit athlete for multiple reasons. Firstly, he is a big softie. Secondly, the man has pipes! And no I am not referring to the muscles, I am talking about his voice! It always makes me smile mid-workout when I am dying and he is just dancing and singing to himself. Lastly, when I get shy and don't want him to watch me practice a gymnastics move I tell him to bugger off and he listens! (Sorry).


What's the best thing you own that costs under $100?

Books are always the best thing you can own under $100! Whenever it is someone's birthday I give books as gifts. I like trying to work out what they would like, it makes it personal. My favourite book is called "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera.

Biggest fashion mistake you’ve ever made? How much time have you got? I have plenty of material. I am going to have to go with my goth phase in 2014 as my lowest low. The black hair, choker and mesh tops combo was criminal.

Favourite quote?

"The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all" - Mulan


What's your fav 90s jam?

Iris - The Goo Goo dolls - I don't want to hear any slander on this one.

What was the last thing you watched on TV?

I just started watching that drive to survive show because people keep banging on about it! So far, I am confused about how car racing works but Daniel Ricciardo is cute!

The funniest thing that happened to you recently?

Being asked to do this and then proceeding not to show up to crossfit.... I flopped.

Most used emoji?

This guy: 😤.


If you could have another CrossFit Claremont members attribute, what would it be?

I am going to say that I wish I had Sarah's patience and kindness. She is my academic queen. I once cried about my research project to her and she consoled me and offered to read my paper!
