DAYBREAKER of the MONTH: Jess K

Meet Jess!

Jess has been a Daybreaker since our parking lot days, 5 years ago. She went to every workout, killed the runs and could out squat nearly everyone. And, not much has changed!

Jess is consistent. Despite a new and crazy firefighter/EMT schedule she always finds time for CrossFit. Jess is still killing workouts that incorporate running but she also crushes pull ups, handstand push ups, rope climbs and double unders. And, Jess’s lifting technique, she’s perfected throughout the years, makes her one of the strongest people in the gym.

Along with her fitness victories, she is one of the most welcoming and positive spirits at Daybreak. Jess is the first to help a fellow member or introduce herself to a newbie. And, coming back from an injury she didn’t focus on what she “couldn’t do” but what she could to maintain her fitness gains.

About Jess

I’m from Framingham, I’ve lived here my whole life. I live with my hunky boyfriend Martin, aka Jack aka Snack aka Snacky buns. Together we have 3 dogs, an English mastiff named Brisket, a lumpy beagle named Maggie and Sadie a not so lumpy cockerspaniel.  We also recently discovered a new tenant spider living on our porch that we will pay fresh cash to have inhumanly removed. I went to Suffolk University where I graduated with a degree in psychology and worked as a social worker for 5 years. I decided to change careers and now I’m an EMT for a private ambulance company called Eascare and I also work for Holliston Fire. I’ve been doing Crossfit since Daybreak starting recruiting parking lot members which I have no idea how long ago that was. 5? I don’t have a normal class time, with the exception that I will probably never be at 5:30am willingly. 
1- What keeps you coming back to CrossFit each day?
What keeps me coming back to daybreak is the fact that I keep drinking beer and I don’t want to get fat. In reality I had no idea when I started at daybreak my entire life would change. I’ve made so many friends from all different walks of life simply because of Crossfit. The coaching and support is unmatched.

 

2- You are known for your tattoos at the gym. Which is your favorite and why? What does it represent to you?
My favorite tattoo is probably a quote I have. It says “choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tides”. #1 it’s a Garth Brooks song so like original country gangster in the house. #2 it reminds me of my Dad. #3 it reminds me to always go for it. Life’s too short to be miserable. 
3- Halloween is coming up. What is the best costume you wore as a child (or an adult)?
My best Halloween costume was probably the first 10 years of my life when I went as the same dog every single year.
4- What inspired your recent career change? Tell us about your new job. Is it something you always wanted to do?
 My career change was inspired by the fact that I was unhappy. As Jack would say “drive fast, take chances” (just kidding don’t drive fast) but definitely take chances. I helped him quit his job and undertake life as a small business owner and after I saw how happy he was I knew it was my turn. I worked managing group homes for developmentally disabled adults to then working as a case manager for case loads of up to 70 disabled adults at a time. To say it’s mentally draining is an understatement. I’m working as an EMT to hopefully get on the fire department in my town as an end goal. It’s not something I always wanted to do but now that I’m doing it, I love it. 
5- What’s your spirit animal (an animal that represents you)? 
My spirit animal is definitely a cow. Probably a clumsy cow at that. My parents always say I’m like a bull in a china shop.
