What’s one interesting thing about you that other members may not know?
I come from a very small South Saskatchewan town and I’m an only child (my parents are approaching 80yrs old)
What is your most memorable moment at Synergy Strength?
I can’t really think of just one. I would have to say looking back at when I started CrossFit and seeing how much I have improved. I remember someone asking me how much I think I will be able to lift over time and I responded, it would nice to be able to get over 100lbs in most of my lifts. I am well over 100lbs in most of my lifts!!!!
When you talk about Synergy Strength with friends, what do you brag about?
The coaches, the community, how anybody can do CrossFit as you can make it as easy or as hard as you want it to be with all the progressions each movement has.
What does #synergystrong mean to you?
Pushing yourself to achieve your goals and seeing other people do the same. Also, cheering everyone on and seeing it make a difference on how fast someone is going or how much they are lifting.
What is you favorite aspect of Synergy Strength?
That along with CrossFit classes you are able to work on Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting and gymnastic skills within the CrossFit programming. Also, you can do the specialized classes for strongman, powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting.
