This month we are launching member of the month!
For September, we`re proud to recognize our very first Member of the Month, Izzie!
Izzie embodies determination and resilience, always ready to tackle any challenge, big or small. Both in and out of the gym, she consistently shows a strong commitment to pushing her limits. Recently, she participated in an Ironman competition. Despite facing a setback when her chain broke, preventing her from finishing within the official time frame, Izzie refused to give up. She completed the entire distance on her own, demonstrating incredible perseverance.
What made you want to start CrossFit?
I started CrossFit as a way of keeping fit and meeting new people in the local area. I only moved to Dorchester during lockdown and didn’t know a lot of people so wanted to find a place that would give me a community of likeminded and fun people
How long have you been doing CrossFit?
I dabbled in CrossFit pre lockdown at different boxes but never found anywhere that clicked. I then joined CrossFit Durnovaria when they opened in November 2023 and have found my forever home 🩷
What`s your favourite thing about CrossFit?
I love the variety that CrossFit brings with workouts. I’ll never be the strongest or the fastest in the room and that’s ok, there’s so many goals you can set yourself and always new movements to learn. I never thought I would enjoy skipping past the age of 10 years old 🤣
What do you love about our box?
The people! After joining ‘normal’ gyms and working out alone with your headphones in I found it so boring. I love how CrossFit is so social not just during the workouts but post workout coffee and even nights out!
What would you say to others that were considering trying CrossFit?
Just try it! You’ll always be welcomed at any session with the happiest faces no matter your ability. It’s really not as scary as you think it is. Just because you can’t do a pull up or a press up, it doesn’t matter, we are all learning on our own journeys and every success no matter how big or small is celebrated.
