Member of the Month Feb 26' - Michelle!

Congrats to our member of the Month Michelle!! When, how and why did you get started with us?  I began in March 2022, 10 weeks after giving birth to my third baby. I started as I was looking to rebuild overall strength and fitness postpartum in a varied and functional way that allowed me to fit a fun and really full session of training into an hour of my day. 

What would be your dream workout? Favourite WOD would definitely be Heavy Diane.

 What workout would you want to avoid? Anything that requires running over 400m multiple times 😂😂 

 Favourite Crossfit Athlete?  Loved watching Brooke Wells excel consistently at the highest level since her first games in 2015, absolutely loved watching her back then & was amazing to see her maintain that elite level all through her career in the sport. 

What's the best thing you own that costs under $100?   Love my unicorn deadlift socks, but I have multiple pairs, as they are the only socks I like to deadlift in 🙂 

Biggest fashion mistake you’ve ever made? 

The biggest fashion mistake I’ve ever made was accidentally coming out to a family Mother’s Day lunch in what I was sure were dressy black tights with high boots, but they were in fact only footless stockings as my mother quickly brought to my attention while handing me her cardigan to wrap around my waist!🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Favourite quote?   “There’s many a slip twixt the cup and the lip” .

 What's your fav 90s jam?  Enter Sandman.

What was the last thing you watched on TV? Landman.

The funniest thing that happened to you recently?  No exceptionally funny experiences, I like to live a simple life, but there was that one time my husband Alex was a pallbearer at a family member’s funeral, his phone fell out of his jacket pocket into the grave & he jumped in to get it & climbed out quicker than I have ever seen anyone move in my life! Thankfully people took it very well and everyone laughed about it a lot at the wake afterwards. 

Most used emoji?   🙏🙏🙏🙏

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

Jess Hendriks’s super pretty snatch 🙌 🙌
