July Member of the Month

July AOM-Kerri

 

Congratulations to our member of the month, Kerri Mann!!!

Kerri has been out of school for the summer since she is a teacher, but that hasn’t stopped her from getting in for the 6:00 am class almost every day to get her work in and also support the tight knit morning squad. Kerri has been progressing her form and technique and achieved a few new PRs this month to show for all that hard work. She is a constant positive influence in the gym and our community and we love her for it.

Below are a few fun facts that you may or may not know about Kerri.
What are your favorite movements? 

                Clean & Jerk

What is your least favorite movement?

               Running

How did you get into CrossFit and how long have you been training?

My sister started CrossFit two years ago and started pushing me to try it. I resisted for a while, but when I went to her first competition, I loved the energy, camaraderie and general badassery of everything I witnessed. After that, I found a great, local CrossFit community to join. I figured I would start out doing it as something “extra” but after a few weeks I was hooked! A year later, I feel incomplete if I miss my WOD.

What is your favorite thing about CrossFit?

The feeling of accomplishment after class and knowing that I did not die!

What do you like most about CrossFit Vae Victis?

The community! I love my coaches and the people that I WOD with every day. We all push each other and lift each other up. I couldn’t get through some of the workouts without them.

Favorite cheat food?

           Pizza and ice cream

Tell us one interesting fact about you others may not know.

          I’ve made my students do burpees during our movement breaks

Name one goal or personal record you want to achieve in the next year?

        Toes-to-bar and kipping pull-ups

 

Once again, congratulations go out to Kerri, and check back next month for August’s Member of the Month!
