1. When did you join CrossFit BC?
July 2014.
2. Why did you choose CrossFit?
I always loved to workout, I used to go to West Van Community Centre fitness classes before CrossFit. It got boring after a while for me and was not challenging enough. Also, last summer I started doing the Grouse Grind once a week but that was not enough either. Then, I was introduced to CrossFit on Groupon. It is perfect, challenging, fun, and motivating.
