Member Spotlight: Frances Fluitt

Member Spotlight: Frances Fluitt

You will find Frances at the 8am and the 8am only, likely speed walking from her car, because she parks it at the other side of the lot in order to get a little extra fitness in. Also because her car is a boat and it’s just safer this way.

On the real, Frances is one of the hardest working members at Renew, and her gains back it up. If you haven’t met her, check out the rest of her Member Spotlight and get to know her a little better:

 

Q: What brought you to CrossFit in the first place? 

A: After having kids, I needed to get back in shape.  I previously signed up at 24 Hour Fitness but I needed someone to push me and hold me accountable. I then decided to look at Crossfit because of the structure and class schedule. That was over 7 years ago and I'm still going strong. 

 

Q: What's one of your biggest accomplishments inside the gym? 

A: My biggest accomplishment is finishing 1/2 Murph and running the 1 mile before and after the pull-ups, push-ups, and air squats.

 

Q: What is your biggest accomplishment outside the gym in real life? 

A: Raising my kids.*

*YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT.

 

Q: What is one fun fact about yourself that we don't already know?

A: I grew up in San Francisco and moved to Texas in 1999.

 

Q: Are you and Michelle actually sisters or is that a running joke, because no one is 100% sure on that one…

A: Contrary to what you might have heard, we are actually not sisters just workout buddies. But fun fact for those who didn’t know, my maiden name is Kwan (same last name as Michelle). 

 

Glad we got to the bottom of that one. We love you, Frances! We’re so glad you’re a part of the Renew Crew.
