“Currently do CrossFit I started crossfit back in 2011.. I wanted to do a sport which includes gymnastics and weights! I started sports at school where i discovered gymnastics. I fell in love with the sport and continued to practice even after school and with the national team at the time. It was the early ages of gymnastics in Malta and I can proudly say that I was part if that era and being one of 2 gymnasts who represented Malta abroad. I stopped gymnastics to continue with my studies but in the meantime I wanted to keep fit. I started to get interested in fitness, nutrition, and started dance plus going to the gym. I competed in bodybuilding contests however my relationship with food got worse. I needed to find the right balance between being muscular and leanness. I discovered CrossFit which helped gaining a more positive body image plus learning new skills and gaining general fitness. I graduated as a pharmacist and Nutritionist.”
