Congrat's Janelle

The team at Sagitta CrossFit would love to congratulate Janelle as our member of the month. Upon her return from giving birth, she approached her reintegration into CrossFit with diligence, starting with a focus on the basics of her lifts and fundamental movements. With gradual progress, she has become stronger and has returned to participating in classes. She is consistent in adjusting her sessions as needed, and this has paid off with a personal best snatch of 45kg in the in-house competition. She also listens attentively to her coaches and follows their guidance on when to ease up and when to push harder.

Hear a little about Janelle's time at Sagitta!

Why did you start CrossFit?
I was a member of a boxing gym who also offered a few CrossFit classes. After watching the CrossFit classes a number of times I finally decided to give it a go!

What do you enjoy most about CrossFit?
I love the CrossFit community! It’s such a supportive community. Everyone celebrates everybody’s else’s success.

What is your favourite CrossFit moment?
Over the years there has been so many but the biggest would be my mindset change.

CrossFit challenges the “idea” of what a female body should look like instead focusing on performance so what you look like doesn’t matter. Your mindset changes and as a result you get to see what your body can do instead.

Also, my accidental BMU!

What impact had CrossFit had on you outside of the gym?
I was able to train throughout my entire pregnancy which helped with morning sickness, back pain and also helped me have a smooth labour and PP recovery.

What advice would you give someone who was thinking of trying CrossFit?
Just give it a go the community and coaches are amazing and everyone is so welcoming!
