Athlete of the Month: Hope Cochran

Congratulations to Hope for being Athlete of the Month for May. Hope has been killing it ever since she started back in January and is now pulling double sessions most days with RivFit and CrossFit!!

1. What made you decide to join the Riv?

-Deciding to join the Riv was a combo of being super uncomfortable in my own skin and passing all of the athletes on a daily basis on my way to work.  I was too curious not to come in and try it out!

2. How has CrossFit Riverfront helped you reach some of your fitness goals?

-Originally my only goal was to lose weight, but that quickly fell to the back burner.  I’ve lost over 20 lbs in the last 5 months at the Riv; however, more importantly my endurance has increased a ton and so has my confidence level with my body and with my abilities.  My goal now is to do the Open in 2017!

3. What has been your favorite workout? What have you improved on most?

-Partner WODs on Friday are my favorite because having someone to cheer on is more fun than talking to myself the whole time!  Everything has improved in the past 5 months, but most of all my depth on squats, speed on burpees and whining during running drills.

4. What is your favorite part of the Riv?

-Just one favorite part of the Riv??  My favorite part of the Riv is the atmosphere.  I’m super shy by nature so it means a lot to me that everyone is so friendly and willing to high five and fist bump and cheer you on.
