I joined my local CrossFit gym (CrossFit Moorabbin) & I got hooked from day 1. It was brutal, it challenged me physically & mentally, I hated it when I was doing it because it was so gruelling... but the buzz I got after it was too hard to not go back, I was addicted. I surrounded myself with better athletes, watched, learned from the coaches and ALWAYS did extra. It was here I began to learn how to coach CrossFit & higher skill functional training.

Every life crisis or breakup I went through made me a better athlete because it made me try harder, I had fuel for my fire & I didn't need alcohol or antidepressants to numb my feelings. I just had to become mentally stronger on my own & push through. It was tough but it was worth it!

Two years into my CrossFit career, I competed at the CrossFit Games & I have been to multiple world class competitions in my short career so far. This has now become a lifestyle for me, working in the industry & training part time as an elite athlete.

Training has contributed to my health and wellbeing in so many ways! I no longer need antidepressants, I have learnt how strong physically and mentally I am and can still continue to improve, I have made friends with the same mindset and life goals, I have so many great friends to hang out with in my 30's, I set goals and crush them with the help of the people around me, my muscle mass has increased so much that I can basically eat all day and not gain weight (massive perk), I get to travel and train/compete, I appreciate the feeling of being sober and fulfilled, I appreciate what my body can do, my bone density has increased where I have almost no chance of getting Osteoporosis, I value my health & understand what my body needs to function at its best, I am more focused & driven. I could go on all day about the pro's of training, the list is endless!
