When, how and why did you get started with us?
I started in January 2022 because I was looking for a fun, group-style workout. I had never done CrossFit before, so I thought it would be a great way to try something new.

What would be your dream workout?
My dream workout would be a mix of cardio and gymnastics movements.

What workout would you want to avoid?
Running 😅

Favourite Crossfit Athlete?
Honestly, I don’t know many CrossFit athletes 😬 but Nat Smiler is my favourite — he’s an amazing coach and a big inspiration.

What’s the best thing you own that costs under $100?
My water bottle — I take it everywhere with me.

Biggest fashion mistake you’ve ever made?
Trying to follow trends instead of wearing what actually suits me.

Favourite quote?
The little details make a huge difference.

What’s your fav 90s jam?
“Ciudad de la Furia” – by Soda Stereo 🎸✨

Most used emoji?

If you could have another CrossFit Claremont member’s attribute, what would it be?
If I could take one quality from another CrossFit Claremont member, it would be Jess’s strength and gymnastics skills — she really inspires me.

🏋🏻‍♀️ BARBELL BASICS PROGRAM 🏋🏼‍♂️

Feeling a little intimidated or don’t know where to begin with strength training?

We have now started a Basics program for people looking to get started with strength training and/or build their foundation and confidence in movement patterns.

This program will run inside our scheduled Weightlifting classes. Both beginners and experienced lifters are welcome to jump on board.

If you have any questions please get in contact. 🤝

On the Sunday we hosted a meet for

A huge effort from the 6 people we had competing!

Junko set 6 world records - incredible for someone in their mid 70s.

Dave dealing with a few issues still put some very impressive lifts including a 165kg Deadlift! Huge for someone in their 70s too. We are so lucky to have Dave and Junko and it’s such an inspiration to see what people can do throughout their life!

Michelle got a few tough calls but still put some very impressive numbers. Beyond comprehension for most people, but Mish does it so regularly.

Milla in her first comp looked like a pro and went 9 for 9 and hit PBs across the board with some smooth lifts!

Very proud of all 4.

Thanks to Tobey, Nikki and Grace who all volunteered and helped out and made the day happen.

Also thanks to Michelle’s coach .sf for helping the girls out the back.

Well done to everyone who dug in and did Murph yesterday! Thanks for the great turnout.
