Our member spotlight is Stephanie!

Our member spotlight is Stephanie!

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT!
Stephaine has been with CrossFit Bangor since 2019 and we have loved having her at the gym since she walked through the doors. She is incredibly hard working, takes coaching extremely well and always has a good attitude about the workout!
  1. When did you start at CrossFit Bangor- I started back in 2019
  2. Proudest CrossFit accomplishment:Finishing any Hero workout is an accomplishment. Those have a deeper meaning, are always a grind, and get you to push past your limits.
  3. Favorite lift, metcon, or both:Power cleans and deadlifts
  4. A movement or workout you’re hoping to improve this year: Push ups
  5. Biggest surprise since starting at CrossFit Bangor:I know everyone says this, but it is truly the community. Since day 1 at CrossFit everyone has been so supportive and encouraging. Even when you drop into an affiliate where you know no one, you’re made to feel welcome and like you belong.
  6. Advice for new members or friends who have yet to try CrossFit:Take any preconceived notions you have and toss them out the window. The only way to experience CrossFit is to try it, firsthand, with an open mind. Don’t let anyone dissuade you about what CrossFit is, see for yourself, and form your own opinion. Ask questions! The coaches have an abundance of knowledge and can scale any movement to help meet your needs.
  7. Favorite Maine place to recommend to other members or visitors: Oh gosh, I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of what Maine has to offer since I moved here in 2019. So far, my favorite places have been Katahdin, Gulf Hagas, Borestone Mountain and most recently the Cutler Bold Coast Trail.
  8. Non CrossFit interest(s):Hiking, biking, SUP, and tennis. Above all, my favorite thing to do is to spend time with my wife and our 2 dogs, they’re just the best.
