Congratulations to Melissa Fonseca , November Athlete of The Month! Let’s get to know Melissa

a little better with some questions below.

When and how did you get started with us?  I started CFS in October 2017. We had just moved to Holliston that summer, and I was looking to get back into crossfit after a 1.5 year hiatus. After taking my first class I was signed up later that week. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I quickly became a part of the 5:30am crew!

What is your biggest accomplishment since joining CFS?  I guess I have to say getting my Dubs back after my 1.5 year hiatus.

What is your favorite CrossFit movement? I have a lot of love/hate relationships with different movements, but I guess I have to go with wall balls! 

What is your advice to new folks? You are always going to be sore from workouts so just keep coming!

What is your go to Emoji? I would have to say it is a tie between a thumbs up and the laughing/crying one! 

What is something you have always wanted to do but haven’t gotten around to  yet? I would love to rent a RV and drive across the country with my family stopping at all the national parks, and landmarks along the way!

If you could have any super power, which one would it be and why? I would choose the power of being invisible so that when my kids get a little older they can always be wondering if I am following them around!

What is your favorite holiday and why? Definitely Christmas. I’m that one listening to Christmas music in November, watching Rudolph and all the other old holiday movies. This was always such a big holiday in my family growing up with so many family traditions that I can now pass on to my own children. 

What was your favorite TV show as a kid? I definitely had a few different ones, but I know my brother and I could not wait for American Gladiator to come on Saturday nights!  

What’s your zodiac sign? And do you think it describes you? This is an interesting one..with my birthday being April 23 I am on the cusp of Aries and Taurus. So while I like to think of myself more in line with an Aries, I have other family members who disagree and call me a Taurus 100%! And they call me stubborn, go figure!

What is something most people would not know about you?  That I have been married for 14 years, and have known my husband for 20. We have two kids, my daughter Alison is 10 and my son Tyler is 7. And we have a 5 month old Vizsla puppy!

Thanks for sharing Melissa!
