Growing up in Florida my dad taught me to play golf as soon as I could walk. I played varsity golf all through High School and enjoyed my bad v-neck sunburns every year. I also picked up Soccer during my High School days and would run with the CrossCountry team during the offseason just to stay in shape.
College and early adult years I found I hit a slump with exercising, I often would go to the gym and get on the elliptical for 30 minutes or do a slow jog with my dog. I felt as if my strength and energy were plateauing and I was ready for something different.
I found The SHOP in the summer of 2017, after my friend had suggested I just try CrossFit for a little bit to get an energy boost. My plan was to just do it for the $1 trial week but that turned into a membership just for the summer… which quickly turned into my new found happy place. What draws me to The SHOP everyday is the community of people that show up! I am inspired and impressed by all the members and I always leave The SHOP walking with my head held so high! I am beyond thankful for The SHOP Community!!!
