We're excited to spotlight an incredible member of our CrossFit community, Jen Silva. Embarking on her CrossFit journey just 11 months ago, Jen's candid approach to the challenges she faces in the box is both refreshing and relatable. She navigates AMRAPs with gusto, steering clear of rope climbing and double unders, all while maintaining a good-humored aversion to being upside down. Join us as Jen shares her CrossFit adventures, her go-to workout fuel (a tough choice between tacos and pasta), and the profound impact CFV has had on her sense of community, confidence, and courage. Get ready for a journey through Jen's world, where family, meaningful conversations, and a sprinkle of humor come together in perfect harmony.
