mickey thompson: april member of the month

Congratulations to Mickey Thompson! On behalf of the coaches, she has been selected as CrossFit Sanitas’ April Member of the Month!

Her energy is contagious—if someone walks in low, she’s the one who lifts (😉) them up. Her consistency, positivity, and pride in the Sanitas community are unmatched. She truly embodies what it means to be part of this gym!

Here are a few Q&A’s from Mickey Thompson:

Tell us about yourself! Family, hobbies, and where did you grow up?

My entire family loves Sanitas. Husband Robert has been a member for years, & our son Paul is the tiny athlete interrupting classes with his exuberant box jumps! 

My hobbies are running & reading - I love fantasy series & all types of horror.

I grew up in Phoenix & then spent a decade in Tucson which I still love!

What's your favorite thing about being a member at Sanitas?

My favorite thing about Sanitas is the PEOPLE! The coaches are phenomenal & I have made true friends who really care about me.

What’s one piece of advice you would give to yourself on your first day, knowing everything you know now?

My advice to my past self would be to never judge a lift by the first attempt, because we learn so much with good coaching. Snatching was SO CHALLENGING to learn but now it’s genuinely fun!

What’s one challenge you’ve overcome recently, and how did you push through?

My biggest challenge & my biggest joy is raising a toddler (LOL) The challenging part is coming to peace with my own expectations so I can let him be his own person. Seeing him find his own adventures lets me know I’m meeting that challenge with my whole heart.
