Member Spotlight: Sophia Monetti

Member Spotlight: Sophia Monetti

She’s fun, she’s fit, and she keeps all the olds fashionably in check – meet Sophia!

Q: Where are you from? If not here, when did you move here?

A: Born and raised in Austin, Texas — a unicorn!

Q: What brought you to Renew and how long have you been a member?

A: I moved from Leander to North Austin 2 years ago, and was struggling to find a new CrossFit gym that I loved. A little over a year ago, I found CrossFit Renew and fell in love with everything from the coaches and community to the programming.

Q: One year from now, what do you hope to have mastered? What skill or lift do you hope to add to your wheelhouse?

A: Hopefully less than a year, but would love to finally get my kipping PUs.

Q: What’s your favorite movement?

A: Squat cleans!

Q: What do you do outside of the gym? Both for work and play?

A: I work full-time for a cosmetics brand based in ATX called @thebkbeauty (shameless plug to check us out if you’re needing quality makeup brushes). I manage influencer marketing and social commerce. I also do portrait photography on the side as my side hustle and creative outlet.

Q: What’s your party trick?

A: I don’t have a party trick and I can’t dance, so I’ve been known to legit pop out some burpees on the dance floor.

Q: Tell us something we don’t know about you.

A: I’m the oldest of 5, so I am the most stereotypical oldest child you’ll ever meet. (Extremely type A and bossy)

A little over a year down, a lot more years to come! We love having you around, Sophia!! Keep up the great work.
