Sharon Lee: CrossFit NYC’s Strongest

I want to take this post to honor a member of this gym whom I have had the pleasure of coaching for eight years, Sharon Lee, who is moving to California at the end of this month.

I remember the first time I had Sharon in one of my CrossFit classes back in March of 2016. That day we were doing back squats and this woman was not only outsquatting all of the other women in the class but the vast majority of the men too. I asked her if she liked barbell movements and was met with a resounding โ€œyes.โ€ Sharon was very eager to train and very receptive to coaching. She loves to analyze her movements and is always attempting to perfect her movements (maybe a little too much sometimes). She takes pride in striving for the โ€œprettiest liftsโ€ while also being the strongest woman I have coached.

Sharon soon joined our Barbell team and, without any pressure or prodding, naturally and inadvertently assumed the role of โ€œcaptainโ€ of the team, providing a stellar example of conduct, inspiration, and support for everyone. She is always the first to introduce herself to someone new and welcome them with open arms, to show them the ropes, and to make them feel at home and safe at this gym. She is an inspiration to everyone (including myself) both in terms of physical strength and strength of character. Sharon may be a reluctant competitor, but she is your biggest cheerleader. She rallies behind you and is always in your corner, wanting to help you get the most out of your time here.

I asked Sharon about her experience here at CrossFit NYC and this is what she had to say:

Sharon has been an integral part of our gym and the NYC weightlifting community for over eight years. We know this is not a goodbye, but it is not easy to see someone leave who has been here for so long. Please join us for Sharonโ€™s final workout (lots of squats and deadlifts) and send-off Thursday July 25th @ 7:30pm.

Sharon always has the greatest reactions to milestones.
