]]> Congratulations John, November’s Spotlight Athlete!

John is someone who has a positive vibe about him. He is a pleasure to coach, as he listens to, and applies corrective feedback, even when outside of his comfort zone.

From fellow p.m. athletes: “John is a great choice for member spotlight! He is always positive, friendly, and encouraging. He is the first one to give a fist pump and a “great job.” He also always pushes himself.
He listens and always gives his all in workouts & it’s great to have him in class to work out alongside.
What do you do for work?
I’m project manager for an Electrical Contractor.

What would you like us to know about you and your family? My beautiful girlfriend Jackie (also a member) and I live In Abington. I have a daughter who Is 16 and Jackie has a son, also 16, and daughter 13

What is one thing that we may not know about you?

You may not know this, but I play guitar, play a lot of golf, love to ski, am a bit of a foodie and love craft beer.

How long have you been CrossFitting?

I’ve been doing this for 7ish years

What time do you typically train? 

5:15pm

What is your favorite lift and why? 

My favorite lift is the clean. Whether hang, power or squat clean, I love them all.  I like this lift because The movement is challenging and although my form is not the best, I can see improvement.

What is your favorite WOD and why?

 My favorite WOD is probably The Chief. I’ve done this workout quite a bit and PRd several times. The movements are simple but the multiple 3 minute AMRAPS definitely catch up with you towards the end and can be challenging to keep a good flow going.

What are your current CF goals? 

Goals are to continually improve and hit PR’s. The skill I would like to get is the bar muscle up.

What are your current life goals? 

Current life goals are home renovations on the house that we just bought and as much travel and experiences as possible.

What is your most memorable time as a CrossFitter? 

Most memorable times are comps to showcase all our athletes as well as athletes from other gym’s.

How has CF impacted your life outside of the box? 

CrossFit clears my mind and reduces stress. This has a carry over effect in my everyday life and increases quality experiences outside of the box. When I miss a workout I measurably feel that something’s off.

How would you best describe Cynergy to others? 

Cynergy is a community of like minded athletes who need a little bit more than a traditional workout. The comradery is incredible and there isn’t a person in the gym that doesn’t want the person next to them to succeed. The coaches are knowledgeable and friendly,  and will pull everything out of you that you’re physically capable of.

In class, Chloe’s willingness to challenge herself during workouts and her eagerness to learn just absolutely shines!
She’s a true athlete with a growth mindset and we are proud to name her as October’s Member Spotlight.
Keep it up, Chloe! You are amazing!

What do you do for work? 

This is the least interesting thing about me. I’d prefer to leave this question off 🤣

What would you like us to know about you and your family? 

I live with my boyfriend Chad and our dog Divot! 

What is one thing that we may not know about you?

I don’t do well sitting still. I always have to be doing something, due to this I have several hobbies. In my spare time I love to cook and bake. This year I took a deep dive into fermentation. I’ve been really enjoying making sourdough bread and Kombucha. 

In addition I love to craft and create. I also enjoy reading. Most of all I love to host, the main reason I got into fitness was to make friends in the area after we moved. I’m very lucky to have met so many wonderful people through exercise! 

How long have you been CrossFitting? 

 I started doing CrossFit about a year and a half ago. I was never really an athlete. Actually it still surprises me that I’ve been so dedicated to moving my body. We moved to East Bridgewater in 2021 and I absolutely hated living here. Chad suggested I join a gym to make friends, to me that sounded like the worst possible idea. I joined CycleLife at the start of 2022 and unfortunately they closed in June of 2023. At that point I couldn’t imagine not exercising consistently. So after testing all the gyms in the area, Cynergy was the only one that met my three criteria for a place to train. So that’s when my CrossFit journey started and I’m so grateful!!

What time do you typically train? 

You will only ever catch me at a 6am class. The 6amers are some of my favorite people! If you haven’t experienced a 6am class I highly suggest you join in on our shenanigans! 

What is your favorite lift and why? 

There are so many lifts that I love. However I think my favorite is the power snatch. It took me so long to get it until everything clicked. Once it did click, it quickly became the lift that feels the most natural. 

What is your favorite WOD and why?

I love all the athlete spotlight WODs! I love to see what our community comes up with! For me CrossFit is about the community! Outside of the people you live and work with, you see the people you train with the most. It’s really special to get to know everyone. 

What are your current life goals?

I have a passion for learning new things. I just want to keep learning and experiencing new things! 

What is your most memorable time as a CrossFitter? 

I absolutely loved the AM vs PM competition. It was so nice to come together as a community! Or the open. I love when we do in house things that make us work together! 

How has CF impacted your life outside of the box?

I am so grateful for all the connections I’ve made through cynergy. It is truly an amazing community. For the most part I feel stronger and more energized!

Amrap 30

Member Spotlight
What do you do for work?
For the past 7 years I have been fortunate enough to be home taking care of my two kiddos. Full time mom life 🙂
What would you like us to know about you and your family? 
Rob and I have been married for 9 years, and have been in Halifax for the past 7 years. We have two wonderful boys, Bear (7) and Teddy (5) who keep me going.
What is one thing that we may not know about you?
Summer is my season. I thrive off the warmth, the beach, and being outside in the garden or swimming! I’ll take dripping sweat WODs over shivering for a warm up all day long.
How long have you been CrossFitting? 
I have been doing CrossFit type training for 10ish years. Some of that time has been in a box, some in a home gym! I did take some time off between having the kids, and have been back full time for over 3 years now.
What time do you typically train? 
Shout out to the 6am crew!
What is your favorite lift and why?
 Love the classic brute strength of a classic deadlift! Nothing makes me feel stronger or more of a badass than ripping some heavy weights off the ground.
What is your favorite WOD and why?
I don’t have one that jumps out at me as a favorite. I do enjoy the longer WODs that push you to pace while staying consistently moving (bonus points if there’s a barbell in the mix!).
What are your current life goals?
To figure out what I want to be when I grow up. In all seriousness I’ve been raising two wild boys for 7 years, and this fall they will both be in school full time. So I get to reflect on my interests and growth over the years and figure out what I would like to do in this next chapter.
What is your most memorable time as a CrossFitter? 
Coming back to CrossFit after some time off, and being humbled very quickly. I remember the first WOD back it was so hot and we were running and there were some pushups along with other movements. Coming in each round questioning myself, seeing stars, pushups on my knees to failure, and wanting to quit. Digging down to remind myself that it takes time and to trust the process was so hard. It serves as a great reminder that this stuff is hard, and just showing up and doing it at whatever level is extraordinary.
How has CF impacted your life outside of the box?
CrossFit has impacted me in many ways. The friendships I have formed over the years are so meaningful. To have like minded individuals focused on bettering themselves is inspiring. Also, it brings me confidence in how strong I am and what I am capable of. Being able to set a positive example about a healthy lifestyle for my boys is just the icing on the cake.
Any additional comments:
Thank you all for being such a welcoming and amazing community. I love starting my day with the 6am crew and gauging how bad it is by how many people are laying on the floor recovering. So grateful for encouragement, laughs, friendships, and fitness!

]]> Congratulations to Anna Dunbar for being nominated for the athlete of the month for July!  For those of you who do not know her, she is a regular at the 5am class.  She is more than deserving of this recognition because she has such a positive impact for her fellow athletes in the class.  Anna’s sunny disposition is contagious amongst the morning athletes, she is always smiling and encouraging of her peers.  She is a tremendously hard worker and competitor as well, PR’ing left and right and getting stronger every week.  She is becoming not only one of the most friendly faces in the gym, but one of the better athletes.  Well deserved Anna!

What do you do for work?
I’m the Executive Director of a non-profit called the Innovation Trail, which highlights the many
innovations to come out of Boston and their global impact – we are the most innovative city in
the US!
I am also the Director of Operations and trainer/coach at 110 Fitness in Rockland, the largest
wellness center in the world for people with Parkinson’s Disease. We provide holistic wellness
programming to help people with Parkinson’s live their best lives- this includes exercise classes
as well as support groups, education series, and community outings. I feel very honored to be a
part of this community and to do this work!

What would you like us to know about you and your family?
I have a beautiful three year old daughter, Juliette, who is my heart center and helps me grow
every single day. I also have an incredible support system in my mom and two sisters (I’m the
middle child) who all live nearby. We talk in movie quotes and can often be found eating great
food, laughing, singing, and dancing.
What is one thing that we may not know about you?
I have jumped out of an airplane! I did a tandem skydive (at Hanson airport!) and it was
absolutely one of the best experiences of my life – the freefall was unlike anything I have ever
experienced.

How long have you been CrossFitting?
Just over a year! I started my Crossfit journey at Cynergy in April 2023 and I could not be more
grateful.

What time do you typically train?
5am baby! Rise and shine! We are…unwell.

What is your favorite lift and why?
This is a tough one but I think the split jerk. This was a brand new movement for me when
starting Crossfit and I love the power of it.

What is your favorite WOD and why?
One of my favorite WODs was Coach Marc’s workout. I love box jumps and DUBs. I also love
any WOD with some running!

What are your current life goals?
I want to continue to grow as a trainer, coach, and yoga instructor (I’m a 200hr RYT). I want to
go on lots of fun adventures and travel with my daughter and my family. I also want to continue
to get stronger at Crossfit! I would love to master many of the Crossfit movements including a
full HSPU, and a muscle up. My goal is to one day be able to regularly hit the RX button in
SugarWOD.

What is your most memorable time as a CrossFitter?

I really loved the AM/PM comp and participating in the Open this year. The community and
camaraderie during both was so fun. The support everyone gives each other is so incredible
and I’m so grateful for it.

How has CF impacted your life outside of the box?
Cynergy and Crossfit has impacted my life profoundly outside of the box. Cynergy is what finally
made me feel like my old self again after becoming a mom. The coaches at Cynergy and the
community have given me back my drive to constantly push myself and better myself in every
single way. The friends I have made at Cynergy have become a huge part of my life and are a
part of my village and support system for me and my daughter. Cynergy and Crossfit have
helped me become a better coach and teacher as well. I am inspired and motivated every single
day by this amazing community.

What would you like us to know about you and your family? 
Both of my parents immigrated from the Caribbean. My mom from Belize and my dad from Dominica. I am extremely proud of my West Indian heritage and have travelled to both Belize and Dominica at least once and hope to go back soon!
What is one thing that we may not know about you?
I threw javelin in college. I was recovering from a torn ACL my sophomore year and the throwing coach at Bowdoin has spotted me trying to walk on to the baseball team. When baseball didn’t workout, he recruited me to join the team and I went on to win the University of Miami invitational in my senior year as the only DIII thrower of the competition.
How long have you been CrossFitting? 
Just shy of 2 years. My wife, Rosey, and I started late August of 2022.
What time do you typically train? 
I usually train with the 5 or 6 AM crew! Some of my newest close friends make working out that early so worth it! (Shout out to the Vargi, Anna and the Reeds!)
What is your favorite lift and why? 
Even though I am still learning the movement, I love doing snatches. It is such a technical lift, but every time we do them, i feel stronger and stronger as I progress. It is an awesome feeling!
What is your favorite WOD and why?
Anything that involves rowing or running. I used to go to a rowing gym in the North End when my job had an office near there and it gave me a new found appreciation for row erg. I have run in half-marathons and marathons in the past and whenever I see a run in a workout, I get excited as lately I haven’t been hitting the pavement as much.
What are your current life goals?
In my family, there are a lot of hereditary health problems and CrossFit has been my consistent want of staying in some form of shape. I also love building up my community and people in my corner. I love a good workout with a friend either as a partner or working out next to me who can encourage and push me to better and stronger every day.
What is your most memorable time as a CrossFitter? 
I would say the Game of Ages 2023. It was my first CrossFit competition. I saw our gym and other gyms come together in a way that I hadn’t experienced before. My previous CrossFit gym did not do any sort of comps like this. New Cleans on The Block really pushed ourselves and we became so much closer because of it.
How has CF impacted your life outside of the box?
As I have mentioned before, I have such an amazing corner of people who lift each other up and support ourselves in and out of the gym. We recently all went on a trip together and I had one of the best times I ever had. I am eternally grateful to them.
