WHAT IMPACT HAS PRIME/CROSSFIT HAD ON YOUR LIFE BOTH IN AND OUT OF THE GYM?

I have made some beautiful friendships at Prime and without them, my life would be completely different.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT PRIME OR CROSSFIT IN GENERAL?

I love the community aspect of Prime and CrossFit as a whole. Even though we all have our own lives outside of the gym, we share a special bond with one another to better ourselves physically and mentally. There is something so special about that so keep striving to be better my awesome CrossFitters!!!

IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERTED ISLAND, AND COULD ONLY CHOOSE ONE FOOD, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Endless amounts of DONUTSSSSSSS

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE AND WHY?

 “Honor the past, live in the present, create the future”

&

“Now is all you have” 

To me these quotes are about finding YOUR true meaning of living in the now or present moment, and to never lose sight of it.

WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE INVISIBLE FOR A DAY OR READ MINDS FOR A DAY AND WHY?

Ooo, I don’t know. Reading minds or being invisible. 

Being able to read minds, you could see how someone interprets a thought or idea differently from your own, but then if I was invisible I could go into top secret rooms and be the ultimate winner at hide and seek!

TELL US SOMETHING WE DON’T ALREADY KNOW ABOUT YOU?

Hmmm, I love love love candy especially peach rings and circus peanuts. I am obsessed with older movies. Grease is my favorite; I’ve watched it 4 times in a day! Ooo and sometimes I like to eat popcorn in a cup of milk! 

WHAT DOES A DAY IN THE LIFE OF CHAS LOOK LIKE OUTSIDE OF BEING A STUD CROSSFITTER?

Fricken awesome how else! 😛 But right now, I currently work in the Admission and Enrollment Office on Genesee Street for Utica College! Since working there, I have been to quite a few restaurants and shops in that area that I never knew about before. 

Just a few recommendations for you foodies out there; if you like sweet potato fries, head over to Roso’s and ask for a side of their spicy sauce with it (AKA BoomBoom sauce), it’s delicious! But outside of work, I like to explore, go to concerts and find delicious donut shops!

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD/SHARE?

Did you know polar bears are left handed and there are 366 dimples on a golf ball?
