Brittany is a missile systems engineer and part-time graduate student.  She developed an interest in fitness during high school and worked for a local gym while attending college at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.  Brittany was first introduced to CrossFit in early 2009 by a coworker.  She tried a few CrossFit style workouts but it just didn’t click at the time.  In March 2010, Brittany decided to join CrossFit Impulse under the influence of friends. Since, she has grown to love the motivating atmosphere, as well as the constantly varied workouts that challenge her on a daily basis.  The lessons of perseverance she has learned in CrossFit have significantly influenced other aspects of her life.  Besides CrossFit, Brittany enjoys wakeboarding and running with her dog, Lily.
