Congratulations to our member of the month, Kate Filiberto!!!
Kate just recently hit her year and a half mark with CrossFit Vae Victis and her consistency and hard work is paying off in dividends. At first, Kate may have been a little unsure of training with us but quickly fell in love with our way of training and the community of great people we have here with us. She frequents our 6am and 9:30 regularly and always shows up ready to work and more importantly have a good time while doing so!
Over the past year and a half we’ve seen Kate work diligently towards her goals, make major improvements in her gymnastics movements and get a whole lot stronger in the process. She’s yet to tap into her potential and we can see all the strength that is coming her way. Kate trains several days a week and often comes in on Sundays to work on weaknesses and get additional work in. We look forward to seeing her continued progress as she gains more confidence in her strength.
We thank her for being a great member here at CrossFit Vae Victis, spreading the word about what we do and the example she sets in her consistency, work ethic and her positive attitude in and out of the box!
Below are a few fun facts about Kate.
