Member Spotlight- Double the Fun- Niki Van Roekel and Jenny Hefty

Niki and Jenny hanging around!

These two ladies need no introduction they are both amazing moms, friends, wives and of course CrossFitters. Back in the days when I would WOD regularly I would love to go into battle with these two “Chipper Chicks” we all loved the 30-40 min beat downs. The 9:30 ladies group, we all had so much fun competing against and cheering each other on. If you do not know these two ladies get to know them soon they are amazing inside and out. They are not only amazing in the gym but they also do great things within our community.

How Long have they been members of CFSF?
Niki has been a member since January of 2010, and Jenny has been a member since June of 2009. Niki is about ready to have her 2 year anniversary which is so awesome and something to really celebrate! Jenny is 2 years strong!!

What are your favorite WODs?
They both are fans of the long chippers and love all elements of CrossFit, the longer the workout the better. They both frequently attend the morning Endurance classes on Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30. There is really nothing that they despise or dislike.

Personal Goals?
Jenny’s personal goals are to run a half marathon and to also do a mini triathlon. She also really works on doing prescribed for every workout it is not so much about her time that matters anymore as it is the weight she uses. Niki has a few great goals of her own which include staying healthy and working on getting faster and stronger. She also would love to do a mini triathlon along with Jenny. Her main focus is on doing workouts prescribed and working on form and technique.

Why do you both CrossFit?
They both really had the same answer for this question they both love CrossFit because of the community and the camaraderie they feel with fellow members of CFSF. They also love the variety that CrossFit offers and the challenge that they face when coming into the WOD. It is empowering and makes doing other tasks in life seem not so hard and grinding as they use to be. CrossFit is something that you can use in so many aspects of your life that is what makes it great!
