Member Spotlight

Kellsie has been chosen as athlete of the month because she brings a carefree energy to the class.  She is always upbeat and enthusiastic.  She is fun to have in class, but when she hears 3-2-1 she’s ready to go!

What do you do for work?
I work at a correctional facility providing pharmacy services, work per diem at a hospital (SSH) pharmacy, and I’m in college part time…totally not drowning over here.

What would you like us to know about you and your family?
I come from a large family. I have an Italian grandmother (Nonni) who yells at me for not using my wooden spoons when I cook, an Irish grandma (Nina) who swears that having a glass of Jamieson at night is the answer to longevity (she may be on to something, after all she is 94). Too many aunties to count, seven younger siblings (I’m the oldest out of eight. Yikes!) And I have two daughters who are ten and five. Lots happening over here!

What is one thing that we may not know about you?
I like to collect art. Whether it be from yard sales, buying from local artists, or someone leaving a painting on the side of the road, just waiting on the trash man to collect it….gimme! You know what they say; “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

How long have you been CrossFitting?
One year.

What time do you typically train?
5:15 pm

What is your favorite lift and why?
Deadlift, makes me feel supah dupah strong.

What is your favorite WOD and why?
I’m terrible at remembering the names of the workouts, but if it involves deadlifts and running, I’m for it.

What are your current life goals?
To keep active/remain healthy, get my degree, and take as many opportunities that I can to travel with my kids.

What is your most memorable time as a CrossFitter?
I forget which WOD it was, but I remember thinking it was a workout that was 1 round. Soooooo I complete it thinking I’m the 1st one done (by the way I was overly excited about it) but it was actually an AMRAP and everyone was already on like their 3rd round. *Insert palm to forehead*

How has CF impacted your life outside of the box?
Mentally and physically I feel great, which has overall made me a better, friend, sister, mom, etc.

How would you best describe Cynergy to others?
Cynergy has a welcoming and positive atmosphere with knowledgeable coaches. As long as one is willing to put in the work, you will see results.
