Favorite healthy food/meal: Crockpot shredded chicken breast, baked in green/red salsa, steamed sweet potatoes. (Thanks Jo!)

Favorite part about CFSC: It’s the best part of my day.  It’s 60-90 mins of thinking about nothing other than why I’m here and what needs to get done, for me.  It is my therapy.  AND, this is not possible without the amazing coaches, gym crews and support from all the athletes. Love this place.
