DAYBREAKERS of the MONTH: Katie + Martin

Meet Katie and Martin!

Katie and Martin are Daybreakers of the Month, based on consistency. Consistency in their training and nutrition. Katie took her fitness to a new level when she participated in January’s nutrition challenge. Katie lost 8+ pounds and increased her attendance from 3 days per week to 5-6 days per week. Since January, Katie has kept up with her nutrition and set personal records for the deadlift, front and back squats, clean and jerk AND can connect 5 kipping pull ups!

Like Katie, Martin is consistent with his training and nutrition. Martin has seen tremendous improvement on his Olympic lifts from attending Barbell Club once a week. Plus, he has tracked his workouts for the last year and half and has found his average sustainable heart rate, during workouts, is at least 10 beats higher than it used to be. What does that mean? Martin’s heart got stronger, his muscles can process more oxygen and he got fitter!

About Katie

 

I’m from Billerica and currently live in Lowell with my fiancé Tom.  I’m a CPA and work at a firm in Sudbury, which is how I found Daybreak. I’ve been a member for just over a year now and typically go to the 6:30pm class. 
1. What keeps you coming back to CrossFit each day?
The wall balls … just kidding. The hands down best coaches and community keep me coming back. Always such a positive environment! Also, CrossFit seems to have become an addiction 🙂
2. What’s your spirit animal (an animal that represents you)?
Not sure what my spirit animal would be, but if any animals are OCD that’s me.
3. What store would you max out your credit card in (without penalty)?
Express!
4. Do you have any strange phobias?
I’m definitely a germaphobe and I’m also scared of birds.
5. What is on the top of your bucket list?
Visiting Ireland and Spain

The coaching, the community of Daybreakers, the challenge to push harder and get better at something you thought you could not do.
