Kayla Whitaker joined our box late in 2018 and we are so glad she did! She is an amazing athlete with a wonderful attitude. Kayla is always quick to welcome new people and is very encouraging of her box mates. Thanks for being part of the 3 Peaks family, Kayla!
Here’s a little more about her:
1. How were you introduced to CrossFit?
My husband introduced me to CrossFit about a year and a half ago, although at that time it was online programming and then following CrossFit boxes and athletes on Instagram to get an idea of what it was all about.
2. If you never had to do this one exercise ever again, it would be …
Single-arm kettlebell overhead lunges, I cannot for the life of me figure out a comfortable way to hold the kettlebell where it doesn’t rub on my wrist or forearm.
3. If you had to make up your own WOD it would be …
Something inverted and gymnasty. 😊
4 rounds for time:
- 8 toes to bar
- 8 handstand push-ups
- 8 chest to bar pull-ups
- 400m run
4. Tell us a little about yourself, families, hobbies, job etc.
My husband and I have been married for 8 years this October and we have two really truly great little humans we get to call our kids – Hanley (6) and Brandt (3).
I have the privilege of working at PayneWest Insurance where I work with a team of employee benefits account managers. When not at work we are chasing the kids around or running dinners out to the farm and helping where we can.
5. Your proudest accomplishment?
My family.
6. Your favorite cheat meal/food?
Nachos – and chocolate, dark delicious chocolate.
7. What you love about 3 Peaks CrossFit?
The community of people. I can’t express how much I love coming to workout with such amazing box mates. You can’t replicate the environment at Three Peaks, that is what makes it so incredible and I am so blessed to get to experience it.
8. What’s something we might not know about you?
I can play the bagpipes.
