Huge congrats to our box junkie for November and Athlete of the Month for October Angela! Angela is part of a trio of the Goronski's which consists of her Mum Jenefer and almost twin in age Katie. This trio has been training at Access for a long time and it makes us so proud. Angela has gone from strength to strength since starting in the Teens classes and it has certainly been very special watching Ang progress over the years, and we couldn't be prouder of this lovely young lady. Angela's determination has certainly been apparent lately with a few recent box junkies with the most attendance, and the commitment Angela puts in to her training is awesome to watch. Keep it up Ang. we can't wait to report back on you in a year or two! One of our rising superstar Teens! Lets get to know more about Ang here:
- Name: Angela Goronski
- Age: 16
- Occupation: High school student
- How long have you been at CrossFit Access? Started the kids classes maybe 2 years ago and joined the adults at around June last year.
- What do you enjoy doing outside of CrossFit? Eating and hanging out with my friends and dog. But to be honest I spend most of my time at crossfit haha.
- What is your favourite and least favourite movements or WODs? Least favourite would definitely be anything with running and thrusters or workouts like DT. Favourite is anything with Hand Stand Pull Ups, pull ups and sit ups or any kind of AMRAP.
- What your biggest achievement so far? 100% completing my second 3v3 competition with Katie and Abi.
- What are your future goals? Of course to get a muscle up eventually and to become better at running.
- Tell us something we don’t know about you. Before joining access I couldn’t run 400m without stopping.
- Who’s your box buddy? The family, sister Katie and mum Jenefer
- Why did you start CrossFit? My mum had just joined the adult classes and would not be quiet about how amazing crossfit was. I wasn’t that interested at first but when she forced me to go to that one kids class with sully and Stacy I was hooked. At the beginning it was kind of just something for us to do to keep us busy but later, joining the adults class, it became so much more important to us.
- What do you love about CrossFit Access? Just walking into crossfit every day and getting that feeling of happiness and community is a big one. There is always so much support and everybody genuinely cares about how you’re going and how you’re feeling. It’s not just the family that makes access so amazing but also the positive impact it has had on my mental and physical state. Since I joined access I have noticed so many changes in my body composition and my state of mind. I am doing better at school and have developed more self confidence and a higher level of education about nutrition and the importance of exercise.
- Any advice for anyone just starting their CrossFit journey? Just take the plunge, join up, put in the work and watch your life change.
