From Day One to PR Queen: Vanessa’s EastieFit Story After nearly three years of showing up and pushing her limits, Vanessa Perez has earned her spot as EastieFit’s April 2025 All-Star! What started as a personal fitness journey has grown into a powerful transformation marked by strength, confidence, and consistency. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Major PRs + New Skills Unlocked Vanessa’s hard work has paid off big time: 225 lb Deadlift ๐Ÿ’ฅ 160 lb Back Squat ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ‍โ™€๏ธ And she’s now crushing double unders! These aren’t just numbers—they’re proof of what’s possible when you stay committed and show up consistently. Motivation from Reflection & Progress Vanessa’s biggest motivator? Looking back at where she started and realizing just how far she’s come: “When I think about what I can do now that I couldn’t two years ago… it pushes me to keep showing up and improving every day.” Fuel, Rest, Repeat Vanessa credits her gains to staying on top of two key habits: Eating well ๐Ÿฝ Getting good rest ๐Ÿ˜ด These habits have helped her recover, build strength, and stay energized for every class. Living the Core Value: Consistent Among EastieFit’s four core values, Consistent is the one Vanessa lives by: “Be patient and persistent. It takes time and effort to see results—enjoy the journey.” Her message is clear: small steps add up, and progress comes from showing up over and over again. The EastieFit Vibe For Vanessa, the best part of the gym isn’t just the PRs—it’s the community and coaching support: “The community vibes and the support you get from the coaches every class make all the difference.” Beyond the Barbell When she’s not crushing it at EastieFit, Vanessa enjoys running—a great complement to her CrossFit training!

Please see the list of all the markers below. Each training plan is showing the goals for athletes within the training plan. For example: if I am a Wellness athlete then my goal is hold a 60s Down Dog Hold. Once I hit that goal, then I can start progressing towards the fitness plan. Lastly, when I am able to hit all 12 markers or goals in my plan then I have the ....
