Member Spotlight: Christy

Christy has been working out at Kazam now for roughly 2 years. Her drive and determination doesn't let anything stand in her way. Many times, when I approach her about the workout or scaling something, she'll almost always say "no, I want to try this first, I can get it." Unless it's just not a good idea, I usually wait to step in, and sure enough, she'll try and try before she gets it or says "today's just not my day, I'll get it soon." I guess fitness just runs in the Nau DNA! Here's more about Christy...!

When was your first experience with CrossFit? What was it like? You obviously went back a second time, why?:
