September Member of the Month Interview: Cheryl Cockram

1. What do you do outside of the gym? Career, hobbies, etc.!

I am a mom of 3 awesome kids and married to my best friend, Dustin. I am an assistant principal at Twin Springs. I love coaching my kids in youth sports including softball, t-ball, basketball, and this year volleyball. I also love to read if I can ever grab a few extra minutes.

2. How long have you been training with us?

I started at Old97 in May 2023 when the 5am class was created!

3. What's been your biggest accomplishment since you began training with us?

Overall, my strength has improved as a whole and I’ve been able to lift heavier in just about every power lift which is awesome. I’m closer than I’ve ever been to toes to bar, so I’m striving to get that skill!

4. What's your favorite thing about being a member here?

I love the community at Old97 especially the 5am class environment. We’re all one big family who hold each other accountable, call each other out, and cheer each other on all before the sun rises! Who wouldn’t love that?!

5. What would you say to someone who is considering training with us?

Just do it! CrossFit can challenge anyone and everyone at their own level. I love the competitive aspect, so that’s a big plus for me.  However, as I get older CrossFit helps me to simply be able to be active with my kids!
