Here’s a big Congratulations to our August Athlete, the lovely Nina Nelson. Nina has been with 3 Peaks since November 2015 and we are so blessed to have her. She is an extremely hard worker, VERY coach able, and has an incredible attitude full of positive and encouragement, even when a workout is terrible. We are excited about where Nina is headed in her health and wellness and are so pleased to be her coaches!!! Great job Nina!!

Questions we asked:
1. How were you introduced to CrossFit?
My husband, Ian, started doing it 11 months before I signed up. He was getting stronger and felt great. And looked amazing. ? He loved it and I finally decided to give it a try.

2. If you never had to do this one exercise ever again, it would be? I’d have to say clusters since it’s like doing my two least favorite movements in one – thrusters and squat cleans.

3. If you had to make up your own wod it would be? An AMRAP with running, push jerks and back squats. Followed by a ROMWOD.

4. Tell us a little about yourself, families, hobbies, job etc. I work from home as a natural living blogger and freelance designer/online marketing support specialist. I’m a student herbalist and love creating remedies that I sell in my online shop. Ian and I have four kids and one dog, all of which are adorable and loud. My hobbies include working (says Ian), CrossFit (I’m addicted), adding lavender to food and obsessively checking the 3 peaks website after 9 pm to see what the next day’s WOD is.

5. Your proudest accomplishment: I’ve written a few books that people actually liked and helped them make the changes they wanted.

6. Your favorite cheat meal? I have no idea what you’re talking about … But should anyone want to bring me mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce, I would happily eat them.

7. What you love about 3 peaks CrossFit? The community is the best aspect. Everyone is super encouraging and I love getting to workout in that atmosphere. I also love the variety. One of my biggest struggles before starting CrossFit was either not knowing what to do or getting bored. I love that all I have to do is show up and do what’s on the board and that it’s different every day.

8. Something we might not know about you is? After five years I was finally able to talk my husband into moving our family into a Skoolie (renovated school bus). We lived in it for a year and nobody died or went crazy (yay!). Pics here:http://shalommama.com/our-bus.
