Hockey (coaching now), golf, skiing, cooking/nutrition and of course CrossFit

Helped me stay in shape for hockey over the summers and winters when I was home during college

Kathy has been an amazing member of the PTS community for 12 years and an incredible part of our community. Here, she shares her journey with Prototype. Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our July POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype I love Prototype. I knew Mike and Brian from BSC and Mike approached me one day, saying that he thought I would really love a crossfit workout. Naturally, I thought he was out of his mind. I have loved every minute of my time for the past 12 years. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? The community. No matter what class I take, everyone is warm and welcoming. It isn’t always easy to walk into a new class, at Prototype that is never an issue for me. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I love to travel. I enjoy hiking, walking, tennis and swimming. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? When I am at Prototype, I can block out the noise of the world around me and just breathe. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? My dad lived until 101.5 years old. He always did some form of exercise and it paid off for him. My goals are to continue to be active, get on the floor with my grandchildren and be able to get up. I really feel that exercising is akin to making a deposit for the future. There will come a time when I will have to make some withdrawals, and I want to have enough deposits to cover those withdrawals. 6.)
