10 Questions With Vanessa Palmisano
1.) First question is the easiest: Who’s your favorite trainer, and why?
Do I have to say Luke? If so, then Luke Palmisano is definitely my favorite trainer. If I don’t have to say Luke, then I would say Luke Palmisano is definitely my favorite trainer:) But seriously, I love all the trainers so much. They all add their own little element to the classes and make the experience so enjoyable for me.
2.) Where do you hail from? Is where you’re from famous for anything?
Anaheim, California! It’s the home of Disneyland and No Doubt and one of the coolest places ever.
3.) What got you started doing CrossFit?
When I first got married my husband introduced me to CrossFit and I have to admit I totally was not feeling it. I never dedicated enough time to notice a difference or to get stronger. But now that I have been coming to more classes and noticing changes in my body I am so pumped. It only took three years of brain washing, Luke, but you’ve totally succeeding in making me love Crossfit.
4.) Do you think Kim Kardashian and Co. do CrossFit?
No, I don’t think so. But her booty is definitely my motivation when I’m doing squats and deadlifts.
5.) On a scale of 1-10, how good is In-N-Out, and why haven’t they come to Colorado yet?
Its like 1,000. Probably more. It’s the most amazing thing ever. Double double animal style…omg I’m totally fantasizing right now! And I have no idea why they haven’t come to Colorado yet, but its pretty lame that they haven’t.
6.) Since you don’t have In-N-Out in Colorado, what’s your favorite cheat meal?
Pizza. And beer. And cheesecake. I just started zoning so these questions are really difficult to answer. I really want to cheat right now.
7.) What keeps you coming through the doors at Verve?
The people! I know everyone says that, but I am getting to know so many awesome people. I used to always be so insecure about working out at Verve with all the amazing athletes that train there, but everyone has been so supportive. People cheer you on mid-workout when they can’t even breathe themselves. It’s pretty cool.
8.) What’s your favorite workout, and why?
I really like anything with deadlifts in it. Kim Kardashian booty, remember?
9.) Your least favorite?
Rowing sucks pretty bad. So do burpees. Ugh, they make me want to puke!
10.) All right Vanessa: What would you like us to know about you?
I’m a hopeless romantic and super dramatic and pretty awesome. I hate cold weather and love the ocean. Jude is my favorite person in the whole world.
