I started out just like most people, thought I was in somewhat okay shape, but quickly realized I was far from it. My humbled fitness journey began with CrossFit Boot Camp at Lili’uokalani Park. From the first day I was hooked! (Thanks to a coach named Mahina at the time). After going through the boot camp program a few times, I finally decided to join the CF gym. I was eventually encouraged to go to a CrossFit Level 1 certification by the owner of CrossFit Big Island. After receiving my level 1, I came “full circle”…I was tasked with teaching the boot camp classes! Completely out of my comfort zone I grew to love teaching and also felt like I had a knack for creating workouts. Programming workouts is one of the things I really enjoy about CrossFit. Seeing a person(s) totally doubt themselves in the beginning of a class; but end up completing the workout is my greatest reward through CrossFit. I love when people surprise themselves and realize with time and effort that they are capable of so much more than they previously thought. CrossFit allows me to help everyday people, just like myself, to make the things they thought were impossible… possible. Fitness is definitely a journey and I’d love to be a part of yours!
