Instagram post 2179475548911386949_24812368 I have room for THREE (🤟🏽) new remote coaching clients! The Open is a great test to see where we can improve! (It definitely always shows me!) I LOVED having “remote clients” leading up to the Open and during the Open. I had the opportunity to help them prepare, and because of THEIR hard work, they were able to do things like get multiple ring muscle ups, not die during those bar facing burpees, get some reps at the heavy weights in 20.4, and knock out some handstand pushups. Seeing people succeed in the gym is what I am passionate about and one of the main reasons why I am excited to wake up every day. 🔥 Because when we succeed in the gym, our confidence grows and we realize all we are capable of inside AND outside the gym. I would love to help you with your goals- whether you just want to get closer to getting a pullup, or you have a competition coming up! DM me for details and prices! I also have a couple of spots for personal training sessions, group training sessions, and/or 1-1. Prices are affordable and programs are personalized and focused on *YOUR* goals. I’ve worked really hard at this, and it’s been rewarding to see other people put the work in and succeed. 📸: @kathleendewphotos #crossfit #training #coach #coaching #personaltraining #remotecoaching #competition #confidence #goals #fit #fitnessmotivation #andersonsc #yeahthatgreenville

Instagram post 2175872029040140096_24812368 OPEN 2020 is done ✅ I learned so much that I spared you from hearing it all on Instagram and wrote about it on my blog. (Link in my profile) - Before the open, I had a goal to be top 100 in the world (out of about 100,000). I didn’t tell too many people - because I felt like I didn’t belong there and I felt like that would come across as arrogant or prideful. Over the past 5 weeks, I’ve been able to see that maybe I do in fact belong up there. And even more importantly, when I REALLY believe it, good things happen. This year has been incredible, and I am so thankful for all God has allowed me to be a part of in this fitness journey (the good, the bad, and the ugly). I think some more cool experiences are coming! We will see! - Thank you to everyone who has believed in me. @crossfitelectriccity is an amazing gym because of the people that make it what it is. It has been awesome to watch everyone throw down. Thank you to Dan the man for believing in me. Thank you to @barbudo54 for coaching me, judging me, believing in me (and to @lindseyleonard54 too). And to anyone at CFEC who stayed around to cheer for me and change my weight for me. Believe in yourself and keep working hard. Good things take time. 💪🏽✨ #cfec #intheopen #crossfit #believe #bekind #crossfitgames #2020 #darkplace #kys #thisgonnabemyyear #believeinyourself #bornprimitive #bornprimitivebrandrep #thumbshield #cbdmedic #blitzbelts
Instagram post 2172861123978663405_24812368 IT’S THE LAST WEEK OF THE OPEN!! ✨ And who’s ready for their first pullup or ring muscle up?!?! This workout is actually A LOT of fun! And it’s been fun to watch/coach/judge this AM and see my friends do better than they thought they would. Here is something to think about... Don’t overthink it! I remember when I got my first pullup. I tried to make it so complicated, but then, it just happened one day (a long time after I started a CrossFit 😅) And then don’t get me started on muscle ups. I remember in the Open in 2015, the workout started with RMU 😱 I over complicated it, and didn’t get one. Then, later that year, I was in a competition with @_ryankirkland_ and he gave me a few pointers, but basically told me to just throw myself up there and see what happens. I did! And I got my first RMU. Sure, practicing fundamentals, shapes, positions, and transitions is 🔑 but sometimes, all we need is for someone to tell us they believe in us and JUST DO IT 💪🏽 So, go tackle those wallballs and push the row andddd ***HAVE FUN*** See what happens! Can’t wait to see who all does this tonight @crossfitelectriccity! FNL! ✨✨ - And yes, I’ll be doing this workout again becauseeeee I had my hands on my knees and too much “surrender cobra” staring at the rings for my liking! And I’m always down for more wallballs and rowing. And I have big goals. If you read this entire novel, good for you! And also, tell me if you GO BIG in this workout and surprise yourself! ✨ 📸: @josh.wilson.photography #crossfit #muscleup #fitness #fitnessforfun #intheopen #crossfitgirls #girlswholift #twnetypointfive #20.5 #goals #cfec #FNL #bornprimitive #bornprimitivebrandrep

Instagram post 2170808408188529604_24812368 Ok, while these videos are definitely not impressive to some, they mean so much to me. Ok, 20.4 - Two things I have struggled with in the past (and can still struggle with time to time) are: 1: Lifting heavy weight in general- especially under fatigue. 2. Mindset around lifting heavy- like really believing that I CAN accomplish what is in front of me. - This workout showed me how far I’ve come, and what I am capable of when I just believe in myself ✨ I did this workout twice, so I am happy to say that I went 10/10 on that 205 bar. On Friday, they actually didn’t feel too bad (except for that last one, featured in the second video) 🙄 On Monday, they were TOUGH. But I am proud of myself on Monday for keeping my head in it, despite how “not pretty” they were-and being able to go over a minute faster (✨confidence✨) - I’m only saying all of this to let someone out there know (even if it’s just one person) to trust the process, keep celebrating how far you have come- despite what has been thrown at you. And know that YOU have to BELIEVE in yourself. 💗 This weight has been a big mental block for me over the past year. But ever since April when my shoulder felt better, I’ve worked some on my jerks,and cleans,and clean and jerks - and a lot of those times, it was under fatigue. Thanks to @barbudo54 for helping me with that. I still have a long way to go, and I know this time of 17:28 wasn’t a top time or anything by any means. BUT for me, it’s a win, and that’s all that matters. I’ll also say that there are A LOT OF FREAKING STRONG AND FAST AF WOMEN IN THE WORLD. 💪🏽 - Oh, and last thing before I let you go- I’m laughing at myself now because all I could think about before this workout was 90 rebounding box jumps. I even showed up before my 830 class Friday morning to try and get over my fear/PTSD of them and relearn how to rebound. Funny thing is that this workout wasn’t about the box jumps at all. It was all about that barbell. So no rebounding box jumps for #Tina. Thank you to @barbudo54 for judging me (I know it’s not easy). #crossfit #intheopen #open2020 #cfec #strong #goals #girlswholift #205 #believeinyourself #bornprimitive #bornprimitivebrandrep #Tina
Instagram post 2165721828927129814_24812368 20.🤟🏽- What a ride. I first did this workout Friday, right after our noon class. I barely warmed up, I wasn’t feeling myself, but I went for it, and when I crossed that line before my last set of 9 deadlifts and heard I had 2 MINUTES LEFT I was so happy because in 2018, I was capped out somewhere in that handstand walk after the 15’s. I was like “wow I’m like a whole 2 min fitter on a HSPU workout!” I was happy, but I knew I could go faster. Do you see how slow/awkward/uncomfortable this handstand walk is in the first video?!?🤦🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️🤪 I felt redeemed for sure, BUT I got a couple of no reps, and the rest of my HSPU reps were so slow. So, I wanted more! — Well, I guess I forgot how to adapt to the HSPU standard over the weekend, so long story short, I attempted it numerous times to try and get it. Beyoncé was cranked for one, Colin even took his shirt off (prob worn out from having to judge me) and I spent so much time looking at the wall and trying to adapt. I felt like it was appropriate to give you a clip of all of the above. — I’m always trying to keep it real...So here it goes! I attempted this workout 4 times. The 1st was my best time. 8:44. Like I said, so much better than last year. On Monday, I quit during the first part, I made it through the entire workout again, and then I got through the first 21-15-9, but I knew my time was too far off going into the heavier DLs. — Anyway, if you’re still reading, here’s your reminder to focus on YOU. I loved seeing and hearing about everyone’s progress in this workout from just over a year and a half ago. I’m proud of my progress...just not satisfied. And hard headed...obviously. But as always, thankful for the wonderful people at @crossfitelectriccity , for @barbudo54 for judging me (I made it tough for him with those HSPU, but I appreciate him for believing in me to be like “hey you should try again.”) and to @schristo30 for also doing this workout multiple times and for these impeccable video skills in the first video.

Instagram post 2161346370045667288_24812368 Today as I was taking out the trash at the gym, one of our friendly gym neighbors (a man from papa johns pizza) told me I had big arms and legs. I agreed, as always. He said, “So we all want to know how much you can curl.” So I said “Easy 220 lbs from the ground.” And then he said, “ok well you should stay away from our pizza because it would not be good for your training.” I said, “no problem.” True story. Thanks @ltevebaugh for letting me do curls with this pipe that one day! #Crossfit #storyoftheday #bigarms #biglegs #curls #cfec #papajohnspizza #girlswholift #girlswhoeat #curlsforthegirls
Instagram post 2160615636582368266_24812368 20.2 ✅ And you know what’s way more fun than doing a 20 min workout? Getting to judge, cheer on, and count 767282773 double unders/single unders over the weekend. This is my friend @paigemower and she is a really strong college student with a ☀️ future ahead of her. - This workout gave me mixed feelings to be honest. I’m a complicated girl 💁🏼‍♀️ so I’ll say I was proud and not satisfied at the same time. Also, there are SOME REALLY FIT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. 💗💗💪🏽💪🏽 It’s like you’re so close, and yet still a little off. But that’s ok. I’m thankful for the opportunity to be able to move and grind through that (twice). Thank you @barbudo54 for judging me and for counting alllllll those jumps. And for the pep talks. Also tried to put a non impressive video clip on here, but when paired up with @will29620 ‘s awesome pic, it wasn’t in frame. So you’ll have to settle for these screen shots of me trying to literally hold on for dear life 🙏🏽 📸: @will29620 (thanks for coming to take pics at @crossfitelectriccity FNL) — #Cfec #Crossfit #intheopen #open2020 #goals #doubleunders #dontpee #thrusters #toestobar #bornprimitive #bornprimitivebrandrep
Instagram post 2159173111946659531_24812368 THANK YOU for all the birthday LOVE 💕 Getting old is weird, but if this next year is anything like this weekend, it’s off to a great start. I got to coach, watch people endure a pretty tough workout, complete that same tough workout (although I was thankful bc I am a fan of those longer workouts 😉) Ate tacos, relaxed and watched football, played nutmeg with some of my favorite people, @electriccitybrewing made me my very own blue raspberry spiked seltzer, @comredcupcakes made me some..wait for it...peanut butter cookies n cream cupcakes. I ate salads and drank coffee with Dan in the sunshine, and people said really nice things about me. - I am richly blessed 🙌🏽 Thankful for another year that can only be given by the grace of God. - Wrote more about it on my blog.

Instagram post 2155564594112789370_24812368 20.FUN ✅ Am I right? 🤢 What a simple, yet deceiving, and all around painful workout. The Open brings out all the nerves, but completing this workout and then watching some of my friends go for it was really cool. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be *healthy* and able to move. And if you were able to do this workout (Rx, scaled, finish it, or get 1 good round in, you have a lot to be thankful for too). Thank you to @skyelar_winn_ for capturing this shot. And thank you to @barbudo54 for judging me, coaching me, and for at least TRYING (you did your best) to slow me down and keep me on pace in my second go at it. You can hear him after my first round in this video. Code for “you should probably stay on pace and slow down). I would have loved sub 9:30, and if I would have actually stuck to my pace and not tripped on the bar and get no repped once (whoops) it would have happened. But it’s like I was going so slow and then just couldn’t go faster. Actually, I just got slower 🤔🤔 Never stop thanking the people who help you reach for your goals. 💪🏽 And last, but not least, sorry about my back in this video. Don’t recommend it, but if you know, you know. #intheopen #cfec #20.1 #20.fun #burpees #moreburpees #snatch #snatchattack #itsatrap #staygrateful #fitness #FitnessMotivation #andersonsc #bornprimitive #bornprimitivebrandrep #thumbshield #cbdmedic
Instagram post 2151696662874263143_24812368 Ok guys and girls- listen up. Have you ever heard of @versalifts? Well, if not, you need to check them out! I’ve been using them for almost a year now, and they have helped me safely squat with more confidence- both as an athlete and a coach. I’ve been working on improving my squat since I started CrossFit (I’ve always struggled with it- mostly bc of my ankles), and 2 achilles surgeries hasn’t helped. Versalifts are inserts you put in your shoes, giving you an instant lift. They’re a really great, generous company as well. I feel ready for the Open because I just got some of their V2s in the mail yesterday! 💪🏽✨🙌🏽 Get yourself a pair today! 📸: @josh.wilson.photography — #versalifts #squat #crossfit #mobility #depthmatters #wallballs #squatober
