I was never fazed by commitment and hard work, and when I tried CrossFit® a year ago, I understood that was the assignment. Resilience and my competitive edge were ingrained in me from a young age when I put on my ballet flats for the first time before hanging it up eighteen years later. However, the lessons I learned from ballet would follow me for life. It would follow me when I prepared for my Spartan races, hiked Mount Kinabalu and first CrossFit® competition.

I embrace the grit, the grind, the discipline the discomfort, the relentless effort, the endurance, the sheer determination, and the hard work because that was what it takes to get any job done. My journey is just beginning but I trust every minute of preparation I’ve put in.

I am Amber, and I am a Vitamode Athlete.
