The gym's vibrant presence and community spirit on social media were what initially drew her in. "After following CrossFit 1864 on Instagram and attending a trial session, I knew I had found my new fitness home," she recalls.
One of the aspects Adri loves most about CrossFit is the constant opportunity to face and overcome new challenges. "The beautiful thing about CrossFit is that the challenges never end," she says.

It's what keeps me motivated."
Since joining CrossFit 1864, Adri notes a significant change in her approach to health and wellness. "CrossFit has completely changed my lifestyle. I used to drag myself to the gym, but now I can’t wait to get to the box," she shares with a smile. This shift goes beyond the physical workouts; it extends to her mental health and social life.
