Spotlight Power Couple Edition – Will Waters & Christiana Cranwell
Will and Christiana have been CrossFitters
at our gym for three years and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed them both!
Christiana, admittedly, was never an athlete, but she really has thrived in our program. Super friendly and quirky,
she works out at 7 AM and has become friends with everyone in class. We know her career has her extremely busy, but she still finds time for her workouts. She’s sarcasticly-charming and very upbeat and even walks with a peppy little bounce in her step.
Will throws down with the 9:30 AM crew and
can usually be found stripping off his shirt, even in cold weather…it’s
become his “thing!” Tall and manly, he also has a soft side, as evidenced
by the love he shows his two teacup-sized dogs. Will is competing in
his first CrossFit Open this year and we are really proud of him for putting it all out there like that!
They both have been great supporters of CFVB, always participating in events and cheering on their gym buddies. More on this dynamic duo…
