March Member of the Month Interview: Sandra Davis

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

I’m semiretired from a 47 year career as a CT and MRI tech at SOVAH Hospital Danville.  I also own a Paint and Body Shop that my late husband owned and operated until his death 8 years ago.  I have two daughters, a son in law and three grandchildren and my Yorkie fur baby Charlee, who is the most spoiled of them all. 

2. How long have you been training with us? 

I joined in January 2025 after bring a friend week.  My friend Vicki had been trying to get me to come for about a year.  

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

Well, probably graduating from the 15 pound bar. 😂 Seriously though, I actually did a push up. A real one. Two in a row. 

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

The encouragement and support you get from everyone around you! The coaches are amazing and the members in class are always there cheering you on! It’s like one big happy family! And the way you can keep up with how you improve in Wodify.  That keeps you motivated and proves that you’re getting stronger. 

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

As someone who had never even been to a gym before I joined Old 97 CrossFit, I would say do it! You will not regret it.  It doesn’t matter how old you are (I’m the oldest one in my class) or if you can do everything in the workout. You just do what you can do and there is no judgement! Only encouragement!
