Box Brief

Congratulations Cris on being the October Member of the Month!
Now let’s hear from Cris!
- When did you start CrossFit?
I started Crossfit when TILT opened in April of 2016
- What’s your favorite workout?
Most the workouts I have only done once, so it’s too soon to tell what my favorite is. But if I had to pick one, I’d say Murph. It was my first hero workout, and I remember I was very intimidated by it, but then it turned out to be a lot of fun! I look forward doing it again!
- If there was a “Crispy” workout what would it be?
Crispy:
500 m row – 12 deadlifts – 21 toes to bar
500 m row – 12 power cleans – 21 pull ups
500 m row – 12 split jerks – 21 ring dips
- What is your spirit animal?
I have two: The iguana and the octopus. The iguana reminds me of enjoying and appreciating the little things in every day’s life; and the octopus inspires me to belief that I’ll figure things out, no matter how tricky a situation can be. I also find those two animals very beautiful.
- If you had to eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be?
Gee, before the challenges I’d say tuna tartare or smoked salmon… But I don’t know if I could eat that every day. What I’ve discovered though is that I can have sweet potatoes every day! So…Crispy’s every day meal: Roasted yams (Japanese, Garnet, Jewel, Hanna..), artichokes and steak.
- What does a normal day look like for you?
Alarm goes off at 6:00 am and I snooze it until 6:30… then get up and get Ari up, and start getting ready. Prepare coffee and breakfast…and be out the door at 7:20 to bring Ari to the bus. Then I get back home and I work between 7:30 AM and 3:30 or 4:00 pm. Then I head to TILT. I usually take the 4:30 class. After that I pick up Ariana from the after school program, go home, prepare dinner, spend some time with Ari, put her in bed… shower… I have some time after that to either read, catch up with fb, or watch something (these days I am into Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) before I go to bed.
- How did you get the nickname Crispy?
Ha! Well I started writing my name on the board as Cris and I thought: “let me add a p for my last name”…and then I just added the “y” not sure why. I thought it was cute.
- What is your dream vacation?
My dream vacation involves extensive time to be on vacation, being immersed in a different culture with lots of history, eat things I’ve never eaten before, enjoy nature and beautiful landscapes but also being able to explore a city, enjoy the architecture and lifestyle, take great pictures, and buy cool stuff! A version of the Silk Route it’s on my bucket list…
- What are your top 3 workout songs?
1000hp by Godsmack
Pyromania by Cascada
Lose yourself by Eminem
- What class do you normally take?
4:30 PM
- Any last words of the TILT community?
I am very happy that you guys are in my life now. I look forward hanging out and working out with you, and getting to know you better. Thank you for being so awesome!
