Tell us a little about yourself and how you got into CrossFit?
After moving from NYC, I was looking for a similar workout/gym to join that had weightlifting and high intensity workouts. I tried a bunch of places but nothing hooked me. I started going to hot yoga at Yoloha 3 days a week and kept driving by Nomad but was too scared to walk in or email. Finally, I got the courage and went on in…no looking back!
What keeps you coming back each day?
I have to say at first it was the programming and the way I felt after the workout but after being part of the gym for months, now it is also about the community of people. I am a little slow to warm up to others, but everyone is so welcoming and supportive. I am really enjoying getting to know all the coaches and members and I consider myself very lucky to have found this place!
What is your favorite at-home exercise to do?
Boxing and Running- I have a punching bag in my garage and the wonderful Folly Beach to run to.
