Charlotte started CrossFitting in Wellington in November 2015. She loves challenging herself and after she had handed in her Masters thesis she needed a new challenge. Charlotte was unfortunate to miss out on Med. School in Auckland and Crossfit kept her moving forward. She had to take a year out to re-sit her entrance exams and apply all over again. Charlotte kept making progress in the gym which kept her somewhat sane during a very tough year. She moved down to Dunedin for Med. School and anyone who is going through Med. School knows how stressful it can be so Crossfit kind of helps her sweat out her stress
Charlotte loves Crossfit for the team sport atmosphere and community and she is also as she puts it herself “a fan girl of the olympic lifts and squats”. “Not so much the cardio, gymnastics… Wait, why do I do Crossfit?! Haha”.
Before joining our gym she had a back injury that put her out for about 6 months, so making sure she didn’t re-injure herself was top of the priority list when she signed up. She is able to join normal classes and has joined our weight lifting program as that is her favorite.
Charlotte is from a military family, her brother served two tours in Afghanistan, so doing the hero wods is pretty cool and she loves that Southern Peak does one every Saturday.
