Linda joined us at CrossFit 6S only a few short months ago and even though CrossFit was still pretty much brand new to her she decided to compete in the CrossFit Open, join a Basement Battle League (BBL) team and give it her all. In every workout, there was at least one movement that Linda had very little (if any) exposure to thus far in her CrossFit journey, but that didn’t phase her in the least. She tackled each and every one of the 5 Open workouts with a lot of grit, determination and a smile. She is eager to improve and try new things and her energy and cheerfulness in class is contagious.
Linda is the kind of athlete that when you shout encouragement her way during a workout she’ll be sure to smile back at you and give you a thumbs up.
You’re a joy to coach Linda and we can’t wait to see what you can accomplish in the time to come!

What impact has CF6S had on your life inside and outside the gym?Â
CF6S has significantly impacted my level of confidence. Learning how to push myself to do one more rep, knowing my limitations, setting new targets and achieving them did influence how I think. Not only in the gym but outside too, as my whole mental attitude changed. Plus the CF6S tribe encouragements to complete the WOD, even when I’m tired or having a moment of self-doubt. That has been a great motivation.
Â
Other than CrossFit, what do you do for fun?Â
Hanging out with friends, attending live music events and cycling.
Â
What book are you reading right now?Â
Principles by Ray Dalio
​
​What’s your favorite ’90s jam?Â
Madonna – Vogue
