Member Monday time!!

This week we speak to Synti.

Synti has been a CBDer for a good time now & has in that time come so far in terms of ability showing tremendous strength gains along the way.

Lets have a chat with Synti & find out some more about her 🙂

. - What 3 words best describe yourself?

Courage, kindness, compassion are my mantras that I practise cultivating during the WODs. But mostly I'm hungry, curious, late.

- How long have you been doing CrossFit?

3 years

- Favourite/least favourite WOD?

Fav: That's like asking me to pick a favourite child!

Least fav: "Karen"

- Favourite/least favourite exercise?

Fav: Overhead Squat - not cos I'm good at it - because it's a good test of many aspects of your body and very humbling. And Deadlifts cos on the opposite scale, they require next to no coordination.

Least fav: calories on the assault bike

- Hobbies outside of CF?

Bouldering/rock climbing, Plants, Science

- Occupation?

Teacher (sort of)

- Favourite cheat meal? (Paleo or not! Lol!).

Honey soy Chicken Red Rock Deli chips (the large pack)

- Do you like fish? 🙂

Deep fried, extra salt, and a deep fried Mars bar, thanks.

- Any goals you hope to achieve on the ROD?

A One arm pull up. But for now just get back into doing more WODs as my new job mixed up my schedule.

- Any advice for a new member up on the ROD?

Just keep showing up.

- Lastly tell us a joke 🙂
