Name: Catie Bretz
Where did you grow up? – Strongsville, OH (outside Cleveland)
When did you become a member of the Cornerstone Community? May 2019
What do you do when you are not at Cornerstone (occupation, hobbies, etc.)? – I work full time managing a team of sales folks at Hormel Foods…yea SPAM and Skippy Peanut Butter! I also manage a team of 4 little people at home (Colten 10, Summit 8, McKinley 6, and Trek 3). While there isn’t a lot of time outside of that, I do love to travel, eat at good restaurants (Boca is my favorite), and be outside (running, hiking, and biking)!
What is your favorite workout movement? – I love to run, but when it comes to barbell movements…I’d have to go with deadlifts.
What is your least favorite movement your Coach makes you do? – I loath snatches and wall balls equally.
What is your favorite accomplishment since becoming a part of Cornerstone? – Climbing the rope. Even though I can do it, it’s still mind over matter when I’m up at the top.
What is something about yourself that we might not know? – I used to be a tobacco sales rep for Marlboro. I was never a smoker, .but I know a lot about cigarettes!
What advice would you give to someone just getting started at Cornerstone? – Don’t be intimidated to ask questions. There are a ton of movements to learn and almost 2 years into this…I still need reminders on the movements.
What goals do you have for the rest of 2020? – I’m trying to complete the 1,000 mile challenge by the end of the year and also want to learn how to wake surf!
Fill in the blank:…I’m #allin Cornerstone because …I want to be a role model to my kids, I don’t want to slow down as I get older, and this is a shared experience I get to do with my husband. I love being a part of our diverse community that welcomes all and pushes each other to do our best.
