![]() ![]() Outside of Momentum I have worked as a Cardiac Rehab exercise specialist since 2010, facilitating/monitoring exercise routines for patients, and educating them on lifestyle changes they can make to help reach their health and wellness goals. I have been able to use CrossFit to scratch my lifelong competitive itch, participating in various competitions around the area and can’t wait to do more. Even better than that is witnessing your friends doing the same, and being there to celebrate their accomplishments with them. Plus, there’s nothing quite like the excitement you get when you hit a PR or learn a new skill, especially when you’re surrounded by friends in class. Not once have I felt bored or felt that my time at the gym has become stale, like had with previous routines. I absolutely love how there is always a challenge in CrossFit. We joined in 2016 and have never looked back. We decided to quit using our girls as an excuse to not get a gym membership and committed to improving our lives through fitness. The members and coaches provided such a fun and motivating atmosphere, my husband got on board as well. I had come to a couple “Bring a Friend” days at Momentum and knew that between the people and the workouts, this place would be a great fit. While I learned to love running, I still felt like something was missing and longed for some sort of resistance training. After having my daughters, running became my primary mode of exercise. They have including everything from standard big gym workouts to home DVDs. My exercise and activity routines have varied with the different seasons of life. I have been a very active and competitive person my whole life. I am also very excited to marry my best friend in the spring and spend the next couple years in Eau Claire! I am a very big Minnesota sports fan as well, even if they don’t accomplish much. I am originally from the Northern Twin Cities area and always will love exploring Minneapolis when I can. ![]() Eventually I wish to pursue a career in Physical Therapy, either as an assistant or as a licensed therapist. As of right now I plan to continue my future with Momentum, helping coach classes, train clients, and improve upon my own physical well being. I look forward to training, gymnastics, weightlifting and cardio all in one workout to become a well rounded athlete. I really enjoy the variance that CrossFit brings, having no workout be exactly the same. After some challenging but exciting classes I knew I was hooked. I have heard of CrossFit before but have never given it much of a thought to try. Now having graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, I have found myself seriously involved in the world of CrossFit. I haven’t heard much about Momentum before joining on as an intern over the summer but was very eager to get started. Needing an internship to meet graduation requirements I found myself interning here at Momentum Fitness. For the last four years I have been a student at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire focusing on learning and building a career in the Kinesiology world. ![]()
