Name: Susan Sutherland
Age: Freshly 46
How long you have been a member at CFSC: Originally came in 2013 but struggled making class times until my little started getting on the bus with the bigs in 2018. (The au pair I had in 2013 when I started now owns an affiliate in Mexico ????)
How you got started at CFSC: I needed a change from doing PT in a very small gym.
Favorite CrossFit movement: Deadlift and I miss slamballs
Least favorite CrossFit movement: Sumo deadlift high pull
Favorite healthy food/meals: Avocado toast, grilled portobello mushrooms, quinoa and black bean chili
Favorite part about CFSC: The people and challenging myself doing things there is no way I would practice or do on my own…. like anytime it says “build to heavy”.
Something we don’t know about you: I am an intuitive energy healer / channel
Words of wisdom for people who are new to CrossFit or interested in trying it: Absolutely everything is scalable. My least favorite thing at CF is the word ‘Novice’. Understand that here Novice doesn’t have to mean “new / beginner”. It can also mean “scales appropriately, listens to his/her body, has other fitness activities that are priorities.”

Words of wisdom for people who are new to CrossFit or interested in trying it: It takes a long time to get better at stuff, particularly weird CrossFit moves. Just keep showing up because that’s the hardest part.
