Athlete Profile-Alice Parisi

      Alice joined the LifeSport family in 2011. "I didn't want to think about to about what workout to do.  I liked the thought of walking in the gym, having the workout laid out for me and being coached." 

    And, "I like to lift weights and have been doing so since my college days when I was the only girl in the gym.  In those days it took some guts just to walk in the gym and endure unsolicited advice from a bunch of boys who knew less than I did about weightlifting.  They also never unloaded their bars, but of course, I called them out on that!" 

     Alice brings quick wit, tenacity and a good work ethic to the gym every time she walks through the doors.

      When I asked what she feels she contributes to CrossFit LifeSport, Alice replied: "Not speed.  And I am definitely not the strongest.  So by process of elimination, I contribute consistency and persistence.  I have watched folks come to the gym and want to accomplish aggressive goals to lose weight, get stronger, etc. in a very short and usually unrealistic period of time.  It is made more difficult when someone gets sick, work/school over loads you, kids need attending too, or there are other changes in life.  Know that there will be set-backs.  Therefore, I hope I contribute to our LifeSport family by modeling that it takes consistency and persistence to reach and keep your health goals."

    Alice is a great role model for all of us here at the gym, as well as for her children. She is determined, strong and damn funny!

"I stay at CrossFit LifeSport because Todd offers encouraging and knowledgeable coaching.... and everyone puts away their equipment."
