The new gym- CrossFit OneFive at the Farm
Settling into our new gym space at the the farm has been an exciting journey! With being here for over a month now, we have been appreciating the expansive space, beautiful country views, and have been able to warmly welcome an awesome bunch of new members to join us. We are excited to continue to grow our community and watch what this space continues to offer us.
Member Spotlight – Megan
How long have you trained at CrossFit OneFive?
About 2.5 years
What made you choose OneFive and what keeps you motivated to come back?
Most of the family was getting involved with the gym so I thought I may as well, and ended up absolutely loving it. The community is super supportive and the class/program set-up makes it super easy to stick to.
Your current goals?
So many but strict pull ups are top of the list.
Favourite movement:
Double unders for sure.
Least favourite movement:
Anything squats, especially wall balls.
Can you share a personal success story or achievement since joining our gym?
Going from not being able to run 400m when I started to doing my first 5km was huge for me. It also doesn’t seem like much but it’s been amazing to have the confidence in everyday life things to know I can say lift something heavy or not be buggered to walk somewhere instead of drive.
What music do you like to listen to while working out?
Anything fast-paced with a good beat.
Favourite food?
Love a good cheesecake.
Any advice for people thinking about starting?
From someone that had never stepped foot in a gym before OneFive, it can be daunting to start but has been so so worth it. It’s hard not to be hooked once you start.
