Michaela Leask

I walked into CrossFit 60 Nort with no idea what my strength was, or what I was capable of doing. Just the fact that I showed up everyday is a huge success in its own. I’ve gone from kneeling onto a box to jumping on a box, I faced my fear by kicking up onto a wall. I can lift pretty heavy things… and one major thing is that I never let my size or shape determine how I should move as an athlete. When I first walked in I was very aware that I was a bigger person and I was scared to move my body. This year I competed in an online competition against many crossfitters and made it through qualifiers which allowed me to travel of the island to compete at Loch Lomond (Wod on the Loch) which did involve a 4 mile kayak along the loch! I am forever grateful that I found this gym, and grateful that I found my self efficacy.
