How were you introduced to Crossfit?
Chris took me to a Saturday workout and I loved it, so I signed up for the January OnRamp. Until then, my only workouts were long runs…and that was starting to bore me. I love the variety in Crossfit workouts…and the people are awesome.
Favorite WOD/lift:
The medicine ball mile!
I have always wanted to
Do a cross-country road trip. And maybe make a little home-video documentary of all the stops and sights along the way.
1 word people use to describe me:
Kind.
Outside of the gym I like to
Travel, camp, read, watch movies
Something nobody knows about me or would be surprised to know about me:
I like karaoke, but I have a really horrible singing voice.
Favorite physical activity outside of Crossfit:
Skiing. I didn’t go much this past winter though…dang El Nino.
Favorite place to eat in Portland:
I can’t decide on just one. My three favorite places to eat aren’t technically in Portland…but they’re in the Portland Metro Area.
1. Julia Bakery on Fourth Plain in Vancouver. The owners are Croatian and they bake the tastiest rolls stuffed with prosciutto and olives. Whoopsies, not really Paleo.
2. Zig Zag Inn on the way to Mt. Hood. Best pizza and ranch on the planet. Also, not Paleo.
3. OrangeTree at Washington Square. It’s like Pinkberry, the “create-your-own fro-yo” place that’s all over Los Angeles. Definitely not Paleo.
Song that gets me pumped up for a workout
Anything Oldies. I love it when Johnny Cash or the Beatles come up on the Crossfit Instructors’ Pandora Mixes.
Proudest accomplishment:
Getting back to Portland in 2005, after several years moving around for work. I grew up here (ok, not really… I actually grew up in Gresham). When I got a job in Portland, I was so happy to be coming back home to be closer to my friends and family.

Stephanie….You are a blast to work out with! Wish we ran into each other more
On a side note, I saw you on Saturday b/c I was at Stepping Stone. I would have said hi but I was stuffing my face with a mancake and you looked like you were in a hurry

I’ve introduced a number of people to CrossFit Portland and only a few have been as eager and excited about it as Steph was from Day One. Glad you were able to end up back at home in Portland!

The thing that impresses me mostabout Stephanie is that she keeps smiling amid the constant onslaught of comments from Cheema.
Admit it. Sometimes you want to drop a plate or dumbbell on him.
Thank you guys so much for the kind words…you all rock! Thank you for making Crossfit so much fun.
So glad you stuck with crossfit, Steph! The classes are so much more enjoyable with you there. Plus I no longer have to explain myself when I say I did Nancy last night.
Stephanie, I haven’t had the pleasure of getting to know you yet! I hope that changes. Thanks for the food recommendations.
WOD – 9:00rx
I think she smiles at Cheema because she imagines what questions she’d ask him during an on-camera interview.
Glad you joined the crew at CrossFit Portland, Steph!
