When and how did you get started with RCF?Megan Catalano. I was slightly interested, I had tried crossfit before at Archaic with my sister but I was so intimidated, I would almost cry before the workouts because I was just scared. Megan kept at me, and then I kind of got in a slump and exercise has always been a great anti-depressant for me so I just told myself that I was going to go Monday-Friday for one week, then the goal became commitment club, and I just kept going, a lot!
Occupation:Emergency Room Nurse
Age:26
Favorite WOD:I really like rowing. I hate burpees so very much.

Favorite Food:Anything with sugar!!!! For real though…
GoalsPersonal:I’d like to learn more about religion, I want to take up meditation one day, and anyone who knows me knows I love to travel and I want a family of my own one day. I’m very family oriented.
Professional:Get my nurse practitioner and then maybe go into mental health. I find psychology super fascinating and why people feel and do what they do. I always try to understand where people are coming from, I’m very empathetic and sensitive.
CrossFit:Double unders!!!!!! I just got the extended access so I can go to the gym when I’m not exhausted and work on those devils. I am going to get them, then I want to try triple unders, if that is a thing!
What time do you usually attend and what’s the best part about working out with that group?I go at 6 am because it is the only time I can go with my work schedule, so I still go at that time even on my days off. I really like the morning crew, because we are all waking up and just do our thing and fist bump each other. We all just struggle together.
What’s in your most frequently used emoji tab?The kissy winky face. Guess I like to give kisses.
What’s the first CD you ever bought?Probably Aaron Carter. That’s how I beat shaQ!
What’s the last thing you searched for on Google?Taylor swift lyrics to a song that I thought was new but it was an old song, regardless, I’m obsessed with T-Swizzle
You’re a new addition to the crayon box. What color would you be and why?I would be that neon green glow in the dark crayon. I have always had a fascination with outer space and like a little kid in a toy store I’m always drawn to the glow in the dark stuff. I guess too I am vibrant in the right environments. Sometimes I’m really quiet and shy and other times it’s like BAM there she is!
What is something we don’t know about you?I really like listening to self improvement podcasts and I have over 15,000 pins on Pinterest. I love that site!!
Advice to new members or someone looking to start CrossFit: Like Nike says, Just do it! The community aspect, which everyone talks about is a thing, these people become like family, and you are doing something that your future self will thank you for. Unless you get rhabdo, so do it and then drink your water!
