This week we check in with another 6:30pm regular, Kate Kowalske — Crossfitting since: August 2015 — A little about yourself: I grew up in Brookfield and played soccer and golf throughout high school. I went to UWM where I studied finance and now work in corporate retail. I have three older brothers, two adorable nieces, and one nephew who I just can't get enough of! Outside of work, you can catch me doing anything outside or tackling one of the many home improvement projects on my list — How did you get into CrossFit? My brother had been doing crossfit for awhile and my family and I always gave him a hard time about this "cult" he could never miss a day of. He bet me I wouldn't last a week and here I am 2 years later — How has CrossFit changed you outside the gym?  It's given me the confidence to try things I would have normally shied away from both physically and professionally — What makes Badger CrossFit unique? Definitely the people & the coaches. Everyone around you is always pushing you to be your best — Advice for people just getting started: Don't be intimidated! Everyone started where you are and when you hit that first PR or finish a WOD you just didn't think was possible the feeling is amazing!  Also, the sound of loaded barbells crashing to the floor eventually becomes normal, I promise. @ktbaby012
