I am originally from Minnesota. Due to some life changes, decided to pack and move to The Grand Tetons for a summer. During that summer, came to MT to visit and explore a little, fell in love with it and decided that I needed to be here. Lived in Bozeman for a while, then met my now husband, started a construction company, had a kiddo and moved to Helena in 2021. We are a very active family of camping, hiking and anything outdoors.
I decided I needed to find something for me to do that was just for me and not for anyone else. I tried a few gyms, and hot yoga and it wasn’t me- didn’t feel right. Walked into a CrossFit gym and it was the place I needed to be. I had been fairly active growing up, and needed to find that love and movement again.
The community! For the 10 years I have been doing CrossFit, there has been a lot of life challenges and changes, and the CrossFit community has been there the most for me out of anyone. Strangers become family. I also like the variety and how it challenges me daily to become a better person for myself and family. Being able to lift heavy, have hard days at the gym and not getting judged for what I know my body needs in terms of movement and exercise is one of the best feelings about being in the CrossFit community.
I am up around 6am, get our son ready for daycare, he eats breakfast there, so I usually just make a bulletproof coffee. Then as needs for the business come up, I am either in the office or running materials, dealing with suppliers and sub-contractors. Make time for the gym either 9am or noon, if possible, then the afternoon depends on workload. Luch is usually around 11, mostly leftovers or salads. Some days I am able to do things for me- others are fully involve with the business. Dinner around 6, our son goes to bed around 7 and I am in bed around 9/10.
