Meet one of our amazing members - Payton Sittler! She's a veterinary nurse here in Saskatoon and an animal lover through and through. She adopted her sweet rescue dog, Margot, nearly a year ago, and Margot has been by her side ever since. When she’s not caring for animals, she loves traveling and discovering new places—her next big trip is to Maui this January, and she’s super excited to soak up the sun and explore the island!

Her CrossFit journey started not too long ago, thanks to her sister, Justis. Justis had nothing but great things to say about CrossFit, so she decided to give it a try—and hasn’t looked back since! What she loves most about CrossFit is not just the physical aspect, but how much it helps mentally too. Moving her body and being around such an uplifting and supportive community have become key parts of her daily routine.

Having her sister as a coach has been a unique (and sometimes challenging!) experience. Justis is her biggest motivator, never afraid to give her honest feedback about what she can do better, but always with the goal of helping her grow. Watching Justis find her passion for CrossFit and weightlifting and seeing her progress has been inspiring and a big part of what keeps her coming back to the gym.

Next time you see her around the gym, be sure to say hello! And maybe ask about her Maui travel plans or how Margot’s doing! Thanks for being a part of our community Payton <3
