When, how and why did you get started with us?
Late 2022. I had started a new job and my previous gym didn't have hours that suited it. I wanted to get back into more Olympic style lifting and decided to try Crossfit.
What would be your dream workout?
Anything with lunges, wall balls, squats, rowing.
I have a workout that literally came to me in a dream:
30 minute AMRAP, with a sandbag or medicine ball - 6 walking lunges to a box, 6 box step ups, 6 walking lunges back, 10 calories on the bike erg.
Bike erg must be done within 45-60 seconds, with burpees for every second under or over. Dropping the sandbag at any point other than transitioning to bike is 6 burpee penalty.
There's also a version with a 100kg 10m sled pull+push per round.
What workout would you want to avoid?
Anything overhead (+toes to bar)! Wall walks and handstands are my nightmare.
Favourite Crossfit Athlete?
Chris Loftus - always so full of energy, chatty with everyone, and supportive.
What's the best thing you own that costs under $100?
Metamucil 🙂↕️
Biggest fashion mistake you’ve ever made?
Too-big tucked in tees at the gym 🤔.
Favourite quote?
"Pride is not the opposite of shame, but it's source. True humility is the only antidote to shame." - Uncle Iroh
What's your fav 90s jam?
I can't think of any so I'm going with one from 1989 (close enough): Pump up the Jam by Technotronic
What was the last thing you watched on TV?
Ghosts (the UK version)
The funniest thing that happened to you recently?
Being marooned in Marble Bar on a work trip after flooding closed all the roads out. We never even made it to site, and got helicoptered out after a week. Best paid holiday I've ever had.
Most used emoji?

If you could have another CrossFit Claremont members attribute, what would it be?
Cristina's core and shoulder strength. Handstand walks for days 🙌. 2025 is the year of the handstand.
