Greatest joy as a CrossFit affiliate: Being able to come into the gym everyday and watch as people consistently redefine their limits.

Keep reading! There's more!

Biggest worry as a CrossFit affiliate: That someone had a bad experience at another affiliate and won't try another one because they think CrossFit affiliates are like McDonald's (same experience no matter which one you go to).

Do you Facebook? Or Twitter? Facebook.

Do you blog daily? Yes - I love writing blurbs to help educate people, make them ponder fitness and make them laugh.

If you had Coach Greg Glassman's ear, what would you ask him? If he'd like to go grab a beer.

If you could give new CrossFit affiliates one piece of advice, what would it be? Don't be afraid to outwardly love what you do - let it show.

Complete the sentence: CrossFit is . . . more than fitness - it's a transformation.

Biggest lesson you've learned as a small business owner: No matter how big my ego is about my capabilities, it simply can't be done alone.

Using 3 words or less, describe your affiliate culture: Mediocre sucks!

Gym dog? Or no gym dog? No gym dog - we have members who act as mascots.
