Each month we spotlight a different CrossFit 1710 athlete who stands out and shows just how awesome they are. What is it that makes up an Athlete of the Month? It may not be the person that finishes the fastest, Rx’s every WOD, or gets a PR every time they walk in the gym. Although we love and celebrate when those things happen, the Athlete of the Month is made up of much more than physical ability. This person shows up, gives their best every time, and then gives a little more. They are hungry to learn and always ready to do the work. They support their fellow athletes and encourage them to reach their goals. This athlete embodies what we believe the CrossFit 1710 Community should be about.

FREEWRITE:
Joining your Gym was the best decision I made . Everyone is motivating everyone its very uplifting. I’ve struggled with my weight after having both my kids and its been very hard to be happy with what I see in the mirror . I’m always doing stuff for my family and putting them first as I should but sometimes as moms we forget how to have fun and changing what we
dislike most about ourselves . So I’m happy that I’m slowly making this change & doing it for ME!!!! Getting back into shape is something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time . I’m glad I found cross-fit because it has showed me that working out can be fun!!!!
