Athlete of the Month: Vanessa Paul

Paula Jager
Friday, August 31, 2018 - 10:52

Vanessa is such a caring and kind hearted member. She is so welcoming to any member, new or old, always having a smile on her face and helping anyone with the workout of the day. However, don't let her kindness fool you on her being able to crush a workout and go total beast mode! Just like being a positive person, she puts full effort into her workouts and improving herself day in and day out. CrossFit Jaguar would like to thank you for all that do Vanessa!

1. What brought you to CrossFit in the first place?


I wanted to continue my CrossFit journey after relocation from Maryland that offered CrossFit Boot Camp. As I searched, I read about CrossFit Jaguar. Its mission of also offering a CrossFit Lite option was what I wanted, CrossFit meets Cardio is how I would summarize the classes! I like the intensity of working out but knowing I am also performing some of the CrossFit strengthening moves is why I signed up after meeting with Paula after my one day trial.


 

2. What is your favorite thing about CrossFit Jaguar?


What I like is the people. I know many  say that but working out with people who have the same goals and for 45 minutes we are all encouraging one another in doing something good for ourselves.


 

3. What has been your favorite thing about the gym?


 My favorite thing about the gym is the games we have had throughout the year. It keeps the competitive spirit alive among other attendees who may not know one another. In addition, I also like the various workout everyday this way, you are never bored and you can look forward to something new.


 

4. What goals are you currently working on?


My goals are to get stronger so I can do a pull up without assistance!

One day!


 

5.  What is your favorite cheat meal?


Two slices of pizza, maybe a third slice.


 

6. What would you say to someone who is thinking about joining CrossFit Jaguar?


If you want to workout with people who are like minded and will not be judged, and will be encouraged to go beyond your limit, join and you will see the difference.
