Athlete Spotlight: Jeanette Zepeda

626 Athlete Spotlight: JEANETTE ZEPEDA

Jeanette has been a dedicated member at 626 for six months and has lost over 30 lbs. Not only has her body composition changed for the better, but her strength numbers have also gone up since she started. Her success can be attributed to working one on one with Coach Jon and attending CrossFit group classes.

A little Q&A with Jeanette

How long have you been a member at 626 and what brought you in?

I’ve been a member since February of this year. I live down the street, I would always drive past 626 and would see people working out. I would just look at all those people with admiration because everyone always looked so dedicated and focused. I decided I wanted to be one of them and I wanted to make my health a priority.

Were you active prior to joining the gym?  If so, what’d you do?

Prior to CrossFit, I was running but I wasn’t consistent. I’ve deferred a marathon for 2 years because of my inconsistency. I had gym membership to LA fitness but I also wasn’t consistent. When I did go, my workouts were boring and I didn’t know what I was doing.

What accomplishment(s) are you most proud of since joining 626?

The overall strength I’ve gained. I never played sports growing up, I have never been this strong or active in my life. It is such an empowering feeling, I proudly flex and show off my baby muscles to my friends and family whenever I have the opportunity. I’m really excited to continue and see what my body is capable of doing as I continue to get stronger.

How has your training affected other facets of your life?

CrossFit has been an emotional experience for me. It’s taught me a mental strength I had not realized I had. It’s shown me that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. It’s given me confidence and taught me how to love myself even more.  It’s tested my patience. It’s given me motivation to be better overall. Every day I look forward to my work out, it’s where I recharge my batteries, it’s my happy place.

Advice for new/potential members?

Just keep going. The first couple of weeks are going to be very hard when you’re trying to remember the movements and you’re sore from previous workouts.  There may be times when you may even feel intimidated, but that’s normal. Don’t be afraid, the coaches are very supportive, knowledgeable and helpful.

Favorite part of training?

The community and the workouts are FUN. Seeing other people be so motivated gives me motivation too. The high fives, encouragement and support you get from everyone, especially when you’re struggling to complete a workout, it makes all the difference and it makes me want to work harder.
