Q&A with Erin
What inspired you to try CrossFit? How long have you been doing it?
I went to Planet Fitness for a while (hated it!) but just could not stay motivated working out by myself. My sister talked me into doing a six-week CrossFit Challenge. I thought I might actually die the first week, but by the second week I was hooked.
How long have you been doing CrossFit?
Since November of 2016 (almost five years).
What is your least favorite CrossFit movement?
🤮 Burpees 🤮
What is your favorite CrossFit movement?
Power cleans (and tire flips!)
Do you have a goal you are working on at the gym?
Keep going. I have a lot of physical restrictions right now but I just want to find ways around them and keep moving.
What is one thing that CrossFit has changed about your life that you never expected it to?
When I first started working out (at PF) I hated it. A lot. I never expected to fall in love with any type of fitness routine. But I do love this stuff. Even the parts I hate, I love!
Are you married? Do you have children?
I am married (22 years). I have a 30-year-old stepson, a 20-year-old daughter, and an 18-year-old son. No grandbabies yet. 😔
Where are you originally from? How long have you lived in Louisville?
I’m from Covington, KY, and I’ve been in Louisville since I was 13 (34 years).
What do you do for a living? How long have you been doing it?
I’m a Relocation Specialist. I estimate and coordinate local and long-distance relocation services. Almost 14 years.
What is the best concert you’ve ever been to?
Gallagher 🤣
When have you felt your biggest adrenaline rush?
When we lived in the Keys for a short time, we went bridge-jumping into an inlet off the ocean. That was the scariest thing I ever did!
What job would you be terrible at?
Anything involving medical procedures.
What is the most memorable gift you’ve ever received?
My Lexus. I work for my sister and her husband, and they gave me my car as a bonus a few years ago. I love that car.
Thank you for being a member of the Fern Creek CrossFit family, Erin.Â
