ATHLETE OF THE MONTH
Alexandria Berriman

This month's Athlete of the Month is CrossFit athlete and fitness competitor Alexandria Berriman. This all around powerhouse can be reached at @Lov2Lift on Instagram. 

What is your name and where do you live?

My name is Alexandria Berriman aka @Lov2Lift and I live in Las Vegas Nevada.

How has fitness shaped you as a person?

Fitness has shaped my everything. I don't just do fitness... I am fitness. My life, my job, my hobbies and my home life is all fitness oriented.

What kind of training do you take part in?

I do quite a bit of different things. I have my 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I like to go shooting with my fiancé, bike ride and hike although Vegas has deemed it too hot for me to do that here. I started out bodybuilding when I was a teenager, and I still do it now. I am a sponsored athlete and Crossfit competitor as well. It all varies but it all piggy backs one another. Really I just get bored so easily. I mean how many different ways can you do dumbbell curls lol. Crossfit became my love and passion for that vary reason. "Constantly Varied"

As a female role model, what do you want your message to be to those that follow you?

For anyone who follows me, I want them to see my imperfections. I want to show my success and my failures. I want to show my weakness and my strengths. I am human. I gain weight, and I get lean. I eat fish and veggies, but I'll also eat pizza and ice cream.  I know I'm not perfect, so I love to help people realize they don't have to be. 

Any big goals for 2017?!

Yes! Well, home life goals I just got engaged and bought a house, so there's that. 😃 I am doing NPC Legends on Feb 11, 2017 here in Vegas in the Figure category. I haven't been on stage in over 2 years, so this should be fun. I want to see what all this muscle I worked so hard building looks like. I have quite a few Crossfit competitions also. My biggest goal is to get a Muscle Up. I have been doing Crossfit 3 years now. I broke my neck due to a malfunction ring set up attempting to get my first MU. I had my cervical spine fused last year, and I'm already fully recovered. I still haven't been able to get one on bar or rings yet though. That is my #1 goal! 

Would love to give a shout out to Coach Eddy Gifford, Wes Gardner, and Chad Cole over at Crossfit Apollo. Also my sponsors Dymatize Nutrition and Livesore!

GIVEAWAY CORNER
The best things in life are free.

This month's contest winner is Lacy Stace ( @mrsjstace )! 

"I
started crossfit about two years ago after retiring from bodybuilding which was mentally and physically unfulfilling for me. My husband had been doing self taught Crossfit and Olympic lifting for awhile, and our gym owner was opening an affiliate. He hired me to be a personal trainer at the gym, and he and my husband, along with our friends, encouraged me to try Crossfit as something new and exciting. Crossfit saved me from my former egotistical bodybuilder self image, self proclaimed "non athletic", good at nothing fitness journey. It has opened my eyes to impossibilities becoming possible, challenges becoming successes, and friends becoming (Crossfit) family. Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for my husband's (Jared Stace) encouragement, and my gym famiy's support (Crossfit Extremity). I'll be taking my CF-L1 in January and finally be able to lock arms with others looking to expand their capabilities, find their confidence, and feel that sense of accomplishment and self worth. Glory to God, and thank you to the Crossfit community for creating a whole new genre of fitness where everyone succeeds, everyone supports one another, and everyone is an athlete.

Congrats Lacy on winning a JerkFit Prize Pack!
What is JerkFit...

JerkFit was forged from our love of CrossFit, its community, and way of life. We believe the “jerk,” the physical act of lifting a bar above your head, is a metaphor for our lifestyle:
always raising the bar in everything we do.

At JerkFit, that’s our mission: striving for excellence... for us, for you, for the CrossFit community.
