Meet Member Tammy

Name: Tammy Hart

Age: 34

Occupation: Daycare owner (Tammy owns a Discovery Point daycare, so if you’re in need of child care check them out. It’s on Highway 9 near Midway on the Alpharetta/Cumming border.)

Previous workout/exercise history before starting CrossFit? Very typical spin classes and boot camps. I realized when I was at the YMCA and went from spin to boot camp then needed to do weights something needed to change. People looked at me like I was crazy for actually wanting to get a good workout in. I had heard of CrossFit while I lived in South Carolina and really wanted to try it but never really looked into it.

CrossFitting Since: July 2013

How did you learn about CrossFit Sting? I saw how much fun Joe was having on all of his Facebook posts. Especially when he survived Murph!!!!! I knew I had to try it. (Hmmm….I am not sure Joe would classify his experience as fun, right Joe?  However, thanks for the PR and showing Tammy what CrossFit is all about.)

Was it love at first WOD? No!!!! I thought I was in great shape but I wasn’t. I’ve come a long way and want a lot more.  (Don’t let Tammy fool you she did great in her intro and first few weeks.  But of course, CrossFit can be tailored to anyone’s fitness level.)

Favorite WOD or movements? Hero WODs and EMOTM. The longer the WOD the better.

Least favorite WOD or Movements? Farmer carries and T2B

Favorite CrossFit Sting moment? When I learned how to kip watching Jessica in front of me during a WOD.

Describe your experience here. I absolutely love being apart of the hive. You get out of it what you put in. You can work out anywhere but it’s very special when you find somewhere that you actually want to be and people that care about you.  (We are glad you found us.  Yes, another benefit to CrossFit is the community of people that develops that becomes like a family and also holds you accountable to put your health as a priority.)

Why do you CrossFit? I could never go back to a traditional gym. If I did I would still do whatever CrossFit moves they would allow. I’ve never been in better shape. I love the constantly varied moves, I’ll never get bored.

Tell us something new about you that we don’t already know? My husband and I have been married for 11 years. He was forced into CrossFit after seeing how much I loved it. Now he’s just as addicted as I am. Our three children love it also. I know my neighbors think I’m crazy as I have them doing drills in the yard and they’re asking for more with smiles on the they’re faces.  (New nickname, Drill Sargent Tammy?  Seriously though this is one fit family and we love having ALL of you in our programs.  Tammy’s kids are regulars in our kids classes and did both camps this summer.)
