September 2022 Member Spotlight

Member Spotlight for September 2022 is Ms. Nettie!

Lynette, also known in the gym as Ms. Nettie, is 62 years old and says that, "Age is just a number!" She has been doing CrossFit for 2 1/2 years and it was her daughter, Kelley, who first encouraged her to try it out. She thought she was too old , but once she started, she realized that CrossFit wasn't anything like she thought. She loves WODs that have weights involved, but especially loves deadlifts (She just pulled a lifetime personal record at 255 lbs!). Everyone has days where they battle with motivation and showing up to the gym, but Ms. Nettie said what helps her is the CrossFit Tyler family, the fun workouts, and seeing results.

"I love my CrossFit family, and as a Minister of Music, I know that God has placed me at CFT not only to get physically fit, but to be available to encourage/support friends through prayer. I am 62 years young and most would be discouraged because of age, but I am here to tell you I am a living testimony that age is just a number! In the experiences I have had the last few years, even if these bodies have limitations, with a diet plan, positive attitude, hard work, determination, and prayer, I have seen amazing physical, mental, and spiritual results! Don't give up or give in, anything is possible! Even with this 62 year old East Texas farm gal. Be blessed!"

Ms. Nette, we are blessed and proud of you!
