170712 - Faces of Choice City - ALLISON

Tell us about yourself!
Hey! You may all know me from all those foster puppies I bring in. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. I moved to Colorado 5 years ago to go to CSU and join the Colorado Army National Guard. Now graduated, I am a Food Scientist and am also married to my inspiring man, David, who is finishing his grad degree in Mechanical Engineering at CSU. We are new parents to a loving puppy named Skylar.

Why do you CrossFit?
I really wanted to get more serious and practiced in weight bearing exercises; the dumbbell rack at the gym was not cutting it anymore. I wanted to learn and be proficient in technique. Finally, having a designated workout/circuit really helps you have purpose unlike if you did it alone at the gym. Healthy competition in always the best motivator. Of course, I stuck with it so easily because of Choice City!

What makes CCCF so special?
What doesn't? This CCF community is the outlet I was looking for and boy did it deliver. You join to workout but stay because of the people especially when you are not feeling motivated, your class always makes it worth going. My favorite thing is going to any class time and always feeling like welcomed.
