Congratulations to Lizvette for being our November 2020 Athlete of the Month! We first met Lizvette 2 years ago, just a year after having her daughter. A regular to the 5:30 pm classes with her husband, she has made some serious strides since starting her CrossFit journey. With her naval background, Lizvette is no stranger to putting in work and she works extremely hard, but you’d never know how much effort she’s putting in, because Lizvette never complains. Also, her consistency, commitment, dedication, and attention to detail has paid off big time. Besides killing every workout in class, Lizvette has also competed in two competitions! We’re so happy to have Lizvette as our November Athlete of the Month and as an awesome part of this community. Congratulations Lizvette!

I am originally from Southern California but came to the east coast back in 2013 because of the Navy. It wasn't until after I had my daughter that I really got interested into pursuing a much more active lifestyle. Going to a regular gym wasn't too appealing to me since I didn't know how to do soo many of the different movements/exercises that I was interested in. One day, my husband happened to throw on the Crossfit Games and I thought it was so different, in a good way, and how there were so many different components to it unlike any other sport I had seen before. Immediately, my husband tried to convince me to try but I was very hesitant being that I had only really did a little bit of running and hadn't been active at all since I had been pregnant. I finally caved and came in for my fundamentals class with Coach Stephanie and I was in love. Ever since then, its been such a fun and humbling journey filled with lots of challenges and more sore days than what I thought was possible. I'm grateful to have found such great box with great coaches as well as people who have made this journey all the more fun.
