Member of the Month: Gina Garcia — Wädenswil
By WE.FIT
Gina has been with Wadi practically since day one, and we are so thrilled to have such a positive and always cheerful person in our community!
You’ll almost always find her in the evening classes — usually 2-3 minutes before they start, haha. Fun fact: Gina is the biggest Shakira fan you’ll ever meet. And whether it’s squats, cleans, or burpees — her hips really don’t lie!
Thank you for being part of the Wadi family, Gina!
Let’s get to know Gina a little better…
1. Why CrossFit Wadenswil?
Gina: The great atmosphere (a perfect mix of focus and fun) + the organization in the box.
2. What are your hobbies outside of CrossFit?
Gina: Traveling (Next stop: USA), meeting friends, going out… simply enjoying life.
3. What advice would you give someone new to CrossFit Wadenswil?
Gina: Attend the classes regularly. It doesn’t get any less challenging, but eventually, you get used to it, HAHA.
4. What kind of music do you prefer during training?
Gina: Latino (Wik-Sound) or techno.
5. What book or movie has inspired you recently?
Gina: The Alchemist.
6. What does a perfect day look like for you?
Gina: Hmm… it’s summer, I have iced coffee and a Nutella croissant for breakfast, spend the day by the lake or sea with friends or family. Later in the afternoon, maybe a day party… lots of dancing, laughing, and talking. (Of course, there’s also 1 hour of CrossFit somewhere in between ;D).
7. How would you describe CrossFit Wadenswil?
Gina: A place where you forget the daily routine and spend at least one hour without your phone or other distractions, doing something just for yourself.
8. Do you have a life motto or quote that motivates you?
Gina: Being content means being happy.
9. How long have you been training with us?
Gina: Pretty much since the opening. I switched from Freienbach to Wadi right at the start. It’s unbelievable that after all this time, I still can’t do a strict HSPU haha ;).
10. Tell us something about yourself that we don’t know…
Gina: Gina / 27 / Secondary school teacher (yup, for real) / 100 sit-ups > 20 devil press / Any singer < Shakira / Cat < Turtle / Harry Potter > Lord of the Rings / Vanilla ice cream > Chocolate ice cream / Mojito < Espresso Martini
Thank you so much for this great interview. We’re so happy to have you in the Wadi community!
