Member Spotlight - CrossFit Big Rock

ERIN BLAKE – February 2024

Shout out to one of our favorites! Erin started with us a couple years back and then shortly after joined our coaching staff. One word to describe Erin is… tough! This girl works hard. She’s got grit. She’s got determination. No fear. And man is this mama strong! We luv ya Erin, thank you for all you do for us at Big Rock!

“CrossFit Big Rock has been my go-to spot for nearly two years now, and let me tell you, it’s like my second home! What keeps me hooked? It’s not just the killer workouts; it’s the kickass community that welcomes me with open arms every single day. There’s something about seeing folks hustle and bustle, pushing themselves to the limit, that lights a fire in me. CrossFit isn’t just about pumping iron; it’s a mental and physical grind that keeps me coming back for more. No matter where you’re at in your journey, there’s always room to level up, and that’s what I love about this place. CrossFit Big Rock isn’t just a gym; it’s where I come to sweat, laugh, challenge myself, and help others unleash their inner beasts.”

FRITZ BEHR – November 2023

Fritz is one of those members you just love working out next to! He always has a positive energy, always works hard, and gives it his all. He consistently makes gains whether it’s a new skill learned or PRing a lift. One of the first to sign up for a challenge or to meet at the Tavern after open gym (sit next to him at trivia night, he’s wicked smart).
“I first got into CrossFit in 2008 by following CrossFit.com with a buddy of mine. I quickly got hooked on the concept of functional fitness. Then life got in the way and I stopped working out for a while.
I joined Big Rock two years ago and couldn’t be happier. I still love functional fitness. The community here is awesome— supportive and fun. The coaches have a way of delivering just the right cues, it’s always a good workout when that lightbulb goes off on how a movement is supposed to feel. Getting my first muscle-up after weeks of coaching at open gym was so gratifying.
Staying fit doesn’t come as easy in my 40s as it did in my 20s/30s, but with Big Rock’s help I’m stronger and fitter than I’ve ever been.”

HANNAH CAVENDISH-PALMER – October 2023

Hannah has been working so hard here at Big Rock, especially in the past few months. This girl comes super regularly, each day walking through the door with a big smile, always upbeat and positive. We absolutely love working out next to her in class!

“CrossFit means a lot to me and I’m so glad I found it when I did.

The thing that has hooked me is feeling strong. I am still working on most of the basic skills and it’s possible I always will be, but I’m not in a hurry. I’m here for the long haul. I didn’t know my body was capable of doing these things and I’m pretty sure I almost missed the boat entirely.

I love that CrossFit allows people at different spots along their journey to workout together, yet at their own level. Thank you, Tess and Corey, for creating such a welcoming space where that can happen. I am proud to be a part of it.”
