Athlete Spotlight – Scott

Without feeling too much like a teacher writing a progress report, Christina Scott has been an outstanding addition to the CrossFit Oakdale community. She is the best exerciser at dressing up that we have ever seen. She is ready for anything, an exciting gift giver and just an all around stand up person. We might have to have a monthly theme week just for her.

I have been a CFO member for 8 months.

Which means I have been CrossFitting for 8 months.

Amanda Hensley totally got me hooked on CrossFit, and it only took one Saturday class focusing on pull-ups for me to drink the kool aid.

Don’t get frustrated if certain movements do not come easily to you – instead of frustration use your failures as motivation to keep practicing form and technique. If you can do this, CrossFit will quickly become your fun and healthy addiction.
