How did you find CrossFit Recursive?
Google search for a CrossFit gym near me.  Nikole wrote this great article in August 2016 that said most people don’t wake up one morning and say “Yes, CrossFit is for me. It’s the thing I want to do.” But that’s basically what happened with me. I just woke up one morning and had this feeling like I would like CrossFit so I google searched and signed up.

What has been the most fun so far?
The #RinaStrong In-house CrossFit Competition! I really enjoyed spending the morning working out (and more importantly eating) with everyone, and partner workouts are the best. Memorial Day Murph was a very close second!!

Something we might not know about you?
My family is from a small country named Nepal, and my grandfather was the country’s first Prime Minister. I also have a cousin who is a huge Bollywood movie star.

Occupation?
Part-time Lawyer (Staff Attorney at Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin) and Part-time Fitness Instructor (Les Mills BodyFlow, BodyStep, and BodyPump)

Favorite CrossFit Movement?
I love all the moves equally. I sometimes practice at home for no reason.

Least Favorite CrossFit movement?
Ring Rows are the worst. I need to train to do pull-ups.

Your ideal WOD?
Anything long–I really like all the Hero WODs. Ideally, we’d do a Hero WOD every day!

Greatest CrossFit accomplishment so far?
I’m extremely cautious and conservative with weightlifting and Coach Bree (who by happenstance was my partner on two different one rep max days this year) finally gave me the courage to find my *real* one rep max for back squat and split jerk. It was easily 30-40 pounds more than what I would have done if left to my own devices.

Things that interest you outside of CrossFit?
Dancing, yoga, going out to eat, getting dressed up to go out to eat, binge watching TV, shopping, etc.
