CONGRATULATIONS TO SYLVIE CATUHE! She is our next Athlete of the Month here at Big Rock! This should come to no surprise to anyone. This girl comes in with a smile on her face and a get-after-it attitude every single time she walks through our door. We couldn’t be more proud of this rock star female athlete. She took that chance of stepping out of her comfort zone to give CrossFit and Big Rock a try. She then upped it and comes to more and more classes. She’s become stronger and faster. We love watching her learn new skills (box jumps and double unders to name a couple!) and master them!!! CONGRATS TO YOU SYLVIE, WELL DESERVED!!!
What brought you here?
I’m pretty sure that no one noticed my accent but I come from France.
I grow up in the south of France, I worked 3 years in Paris before moving in Washington State with my husband almost 4 years ago.
How much did you know about CrossFit before coming into CrossFit Big Rock?
I saw a French program about CrossFit and I found it so fun ! I did some search on Facebook and found CFBR just 2 miles away from my house !
I hesitated a lot before coming, I was afraid that it was really too hard and also not to understand everything because of my poor English. My friend Laura K. came with me the first time one year ago and now I come 4 times a week !
What was most appealing to you about CrossFit to make you want to try it?
The fact that it’s never the same and the surprise of the WOD.
I had a baby girl in 2015 and I really needed to move my butt 😊
What are your favorite workouts or favorite movements?
Favorite movements : none…
What do you struggle with?
Each workout is painful, I suffer terribly, I’m always the last one, but I’m so proud to did it and finish each movement (or almost…)
How has CrossFit changed your life?
No more back pain, I feel really good and so strong !
Outside of spending time here at CFBR, what keeps you busy?
I have a little 2.5 years old baby girl, I work at home and I like TV Shows, painting, hiking and climbing.
What is your favorite…
Food? French cheese of course
Color? pink
Holiday? Christmas
Place to shop? Sephora
Place to eat out? Dough Zone Dumpling House
I am a shy person, and my English is really bad, I often feel very frustrated at not being able to talk with my co-WODers but I love the coaches and everyone is so kind, caring and encouraging . Thank you for everything. I am so happy to be part of CFBR <3
