Tell us a little about yourself (i.e. work, hobbies) and how long you met/have known Bec for?
I currently work in the military and I travel a lot for work. I have always lived a very active lifestyle and enjoy various types of exercising. I first met Bec at the start of 2019 when I moved back to Brisbane after living in Sydney. She was an excellent coach and I was really drawn to her coaching style.
Where have you come from in your fitness journey? (i.e. where did it all start? What was your motivation, do you have any injuries that you have had to work through?)
I started CrossFit in mid 2018, after I returned from an overseas deployment. I like to be challenged and I found CrossFit to be a new type of fitness, with multiple skills that I had never tried. When I came to Brisbane and started training with Bec, I was unable to perform a number of the CrossFit skills. She has helped me develop these skills with excellent advice and support. She has also helped me break down mental barriers that I had put up and as a result I have become the fittest that I have ever been. She encouraged me to compete in competitions, which further motivated me to do the best that I could. Bec has also been a great support and encouragement while I have been away for work. She has provided the advice and assistance with my training that I needed to maintain a high level of fitness.
What is it like to have Bec as your CrossFit Coach?
Bec is the best coach I have ever had. She is a great athlete and has excellent tips that really work to improve skills, strength and endurance. She is tough and I really enjoy that about her coaching style. She will never let me get away with less than what she knows I am capable of. She is also really motivating and supportive. She gets to know her clients and really cares about them. She has also helped me reach a lot of my CrossFit goals that no other coaches have been able to do. I not only find her advice helpful for CrossFit but also for life and I think of her more as a friend than a coach.
