What is your occupation?

I work at UPS as a feeder driver.

Hobbies/Interests?

I love watching live sports. I don’t care if it’s a local high school baseball game or the Patriots on Sundays. I do play a little golf. I played a lot when I was younger. I also enjoy listening to books.

Tell CFD something we don't know about you.

I have only had one real job. I started at UPS when I was 21 and never left. The interview was about 5 words and then they said come back tomorrow.

When did you start Crossfitting?

I started CrossFit about 8 years ago. I was bored and lazy at the regular gym. CrossFit you come in and coach tells you what to do and boom workout done. No thinking involved.

What do you like most about CFD?

The people are the best thing about CrossFit. It’s just a great environment.

What was your 1st CrossFit workout?

I don’t know if my first workout was Fran. I know it was one of my first ones that I remember. My thought was what did I get myself into. It was 10 min of what the heck. I also learned that Fran lung is definitely real.

In what ways has CrossFit changed your life?

Try and go outside your comfort zone. You are going to be out of your comfort zone a lot in the gym. I think life begins outside of your comfort zone.

Favorite workout/movement?

My favorite movement is the clean. I I just like it. I am not very good at it. Hey everything is a work in progress.

Least favorite workout/movement?

I hate the snatch. I can’t get into those positions. It’s a lot of moving parts that need to be moving together and I have a hard time with that.

Any advice you would give to the newbies?

Anyone just starting out just go. Coaches are awesome and they will help you with everything. Once you start it’s hard to stop.

Deborah Andrade

What is your occupation?

I work for AAA (member retention department).

Hobbies/Interests?

What are your hobbies/interests? Anything outdoors & of course CrossFit.

Tell CFD something we don't know about you.

I’ve lived in 3 different countries.

When did you start Crossfitting?

I started in 2022 and took a few months off.

What do you like most about CFD?

The feeling after you’re done with the workout you didn’t want to do!

What was your 1st CrossFit workout?

Something with burpees and assault bike.

In what ways has CrossFit changed your life?

It has thought me that with patience and consistency you can do anything!

Favorite workout/movement?

Deadlift

Least favorite workout/movement?

Assault bike…

Any advice you would give to the newbies?

I would say just show up because it gets better and you get stronger!
