I've never considered myself much of an athlete, but I've always had large amounts of energy and lead a pretty active lifestyle. While living in Cd’A, I attended spin classes for years at the Hayden Peak facility. Loved it for the most part, but was 100% cardio; nothing more. I eventually moved to the Kroc Center to find a greater variety of workout options but found myself spending way too much time without really accomplishing much and I hated working out alone. I was then talked into trying a CrossFit gym and surprisingly enjoyed the workouts. I had no prior weight lifting experience, but quickly realized my skinny little arms were getting stronger. That facility ended up closing and it was highly suggested that I check out Farmgirlfit. I was reluctant and drove past it several times, and finally decided to walk through the front door. The minute I saw the open floor, circled with weights, bars, and a white board showing The Grind, I knew it was going to be a fit. After the first class, I signed up and have never looked back.
I feel so fortunate to have found Farmgirlfit. What an amazing gym! The minute you walk through the door you feel the friendly, positive energy. The camaraderie is excellent! I love being responsible for my individual workouts at the same time being with a great group of people doing the same thing. It's encouraging, and motivating. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable and experienced. They provide good instruction and a good mix of strength and cardio pieces. I'm thoroughly impressed with the operation, and hands down been the best gym experience for me.
My biggest accomplishment this year has been rope climbs, (being my nemesis since third grade), I was finally able to master it. Also participating and finishing the Spartan Sprint in BigFork, Montana was a pretty big deal for me.
Maintain strength, eat cleaner, drink more water, sleep more and get back to the gym 3+ days a week.

Anything rock n roll, and loud.
Favorite: Push-ups. Least Favorite: Turkish Get-ups.
This is the longest minute of my life but I can do anything for a minute.
I really like getting a great workout done in 60 minutes. It's awesome. You get in class, learn the technique, lift something heavy, and get the Grind on. It's truly the best Happy Hour in town!
Oh, just walking in with my shirt inside out.
I feel so much stronger in everything I do. It's truly life changing. It's helped balance me, reduces stress, helps me sleep better, improves my confidence, overall more positive with life. Everyone I've met there owns such a great attitude that pays itself forward in every class.
I could mostly could sum it up with Family, Friends and Food. I spend most of my time with Brian who is a complete hunk of love and supportive in every way but takes me out to eat way too much. I also have mom and dad who are in their 80's living in town. I have lunch with them most every day. I also travel to Boise as much as I can to see my son and his family (two little munchkins that I completely adore). I golf every Tuesday, ride mountain and road bikes, kayak and I've been a skier since I could walk (even though I'm more inclined to snow shoe these days). In between, I love to travel, go to concerts, go to parties. Secretly I would like to nest more at home.
Keep walking through the front door. That's the hardest part. The workout butterflies will lessen over time, and you will like the results. People are there to support you. Don't feel intimidated.
