How did you get to know about CrossFit and why did you start?
My husband and oldest son Peter started Crossfit when we were in Ireland. I went to see what all the fuss was about. Also as mom’s taxi I figured I’d try a class rather than just waiting for Peter and later Charles to finish.
How has CrossFit changed your life, lifestyle, level of fitness?
It has been a great experience both physically and socially. I have made great friends while getting fitter. Most importantly I love working out with Peter and Charles. It is so rewarding watching them get stronger and fitter all the time.
