Our Athletes say it best… I started Crossfit @ Plus Health Fitness Performance in February this year so just under a year! I have noticed a huge physical change but also mental, I can really push past barriers whether it be in a workout or other aspects of life. I am a lot stronger than I’ve ever been before and the people around me can tell as well. The most noticeable change is my arm strength! ☺ My movement of choice would have to be the Back Squats! My least favourite CrossFit movement is either TTB and Over-Head squats, I can’t decide which is worse, but I know they both suck, haha! Burpees or Squats? Funny that my movement of chose is the Back Squat but I would still have to say Burpees again and again. Run!! over row and day for sure. Before I started CrossFit I would never have been able to squat 60kg or deadlift 70kg or do more than 1 ‘proper’ push-up. Even my running has improved so much. Plus HFP I’ve never done a protein shake, but I make sure to have milk post-workout as it’s got all the Amino Acids you need! 😉 Pizza and Ice-cream, favourite cheat meal. Num num num. I love being active throughout my whole day and going on new adventures, I walk my dogs every day, love spending time with my family and love studying my degree (Nutrition and Dietetics). Oh and I should mention I love hanging out with Ben Eldridge ☺ I get a natural high starting my morning stretching or eating a good breakfast, Coffee makes me go crazy. Not a bacon fan at all, actually haven’t eaten it in 5 years Before Plus Health Fitness performance I went to a standard gym and did classes and the cardio machines 6 times a week. I always thought CrossFit was just heavyweights and big guys but my friend introduced me to Plus Health Fitness performance and from the first class I did there I LOVED it. Every day it’s a different workout and my body is constantly being pushed to the limit and getting stronger. I also love the community, you get to know everyone there and it’s such a fun, uplifting, supportive environment. I always turn up to Plus Health Fitness performance excited and leave feeling sweaty and alive! Goals are one of the things I love about CrossFit because there are so many movements, it’s fun and challenging to work yourself up to them. My goals when I started at the start of the year were to do a strict pull up with no band and a walking handstand. Brittany Dean ☺
