Shonda Profico
Trainer
Watching people driving themselves to be better makes her want to push harder. “It’s a cycle that doesn’t fade, and it’s awesome.” Six years ago, Carlo finally convinced Shonda to try CrossFit when she got bored at her local gym. “It awakened something in me that I think I was searching for,” she says. “I loved the competition between me and ME. I felt stronger, and not just physically. I started to hold my head higher, walk taller and gain an enormous amount of respect for the mind/body capabilities. It was and continues to be a really cool journey that keeps me centered and helps me deal with life as a whole.”
Her favorite quote is “Courage is resistance to fear. Mastery of fear. Not absence of fear.” – Mark Twain
