ATHLETE OF THE MONTH
Athlete of the Month– Megan Winkler– February 2023
EVERYONE NEEDS A HYPE GIRL LIKE MEGAN WINKLER! Our February Athlete of the Month is the best lifting partner and community member you could ask for. Megan will pump you up, she will jump up and down in excitement for you, and she will make sure you feel seen during class. And she’s been like this all of her 5 1/2 years at Blackbird. She’s kind and caring, but fierce, determined, and focused when it’s time to lift or workout. Check out her CrossFit story.
