Meet Karyn Paringatai

By February 5, 2018Uncategorized
It has been awesome getting to know Karyn and we are thrilled she has stuck with CrossFit. Its fantastic having her as a regular for the 7am classes:) Here are a few words from the woman herself
I was born and grew up in Invercargill, but my family also comes from Horoera, on the East Coast of the North Island – pretty much paradise on earth.
I’m a Senior Lecturer in Te Tumu – School of Māori, Pacific & Indigenous Studies at the University of Otago.
Fitness before SPC – I come from a team sports background (you name it I’ve played it – some not very well but I’ll give it a go).
Some family stuff happened a couple of years ago and I lost motivation for exercise until I went to Am I Fit, but I like strength training as well and came to Southern Peak CrossFit on a Grabone and loved it 🙂
In my spare time: Umm what spare time? Lol I actually just like pulling a mattress in to the lounge and binge watching stuff on Netflix. And spending time with my whānau.
Fun fact – I don’t have a stomach. I had all of it surgically removed in 2010
You have shown some real talent when it comes to learning brand new lifting technique and other gymnastic movements and if there is something you are struggling with you keep trying until you succeed. It will be great coaching you and see what the future brings:)
