Member Spotlight - Teresa M.

Teresa M., CrossFit ClevelandTeresa started working out at CrossFit Cleveland in November 2008 as part of the Executive Fitness Starter Program. She liked it so much that she continued on with the Intermediate program before joining as an Unlimited Member in February.

Here’s a little of what Teresa has to say about herself:

“Before CrossFit, my idea of working out was going to the gym with my MP3 player, novel (I like suspense stories) and I would spend 30-45 minutes on the elliptical or stair master. How boring! Those days are gone. I can’t say enough about CrossFit and what it has done for me. I feel better today than I have in a long time. Even though I started in November 2008, I just started changing the way I eat. The combination of these two things has resulted in a 25 pound weight loss.”

“I live in Cleveland with my two cats, Ricky & Lucy. I am the Office Manager at a local manufacturer of the ‘other’ Ohio State Flower, the orange construction barrel. I know you hate them! I don’t like to see them on the road either except that it helps my paycheck. I my spare time, I enjoy scrapbooking and spending time with my family. “

You can see Teresa three to four times per week at our evening workouts and on Saturdays. If you haven’t met her yet, say hi next time you see her. Remember, it’s a 25 burpee penalty if you don’t say hi to someone you don’t know!
