About
My name is Sheryl Condon but everyone calls me Punky (like the Brewster). I grew up in Poulsbo Washington showing horses and riding in the rodeo. After horses I switched to motorcycles and started racing motocross. I graduated from Seattle University in 1999 and moved to California to race motorcycles and work in the motorcycle industry. Shortly after moving to CA I started racing desert and Grand Prix. I wanted to share my passion for motorcycles with others and became a dirt bike school instructor and then later a street bike school instructor for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. I have been teaching now for 10 years and really love getting people out on bikes! I also enjoy bicycling and have been mountain biking and road riding for several years. After 15 years of racing motorcycles I started looking for other physical outlets and did some triathlons.
In April 2009 a friend of mine told me about CrossFit and I quickly joined a gym. I lost 40 lbs and was in the best shape of my life. CrossFit was life changing for me and I enjoyed every minute of it. While doing CrossFit I really enjoyed lifting weight the most and discovered early on that I was strong. At one point I looking into Powerlifting however there really wasn’t a trainer in the area at that time. I continued to CrossFit until one of my coaches told me a local strength and conditioning trainer was going to start a Powerlifting team and I immediately went over there and joined. This is my first year Powerlifting and I love it. My goals for 2011 is to qualify for Nationals which means I need to lift a combined total of 793lbs for all three lifts at a State meet. I have made some great progress this year so far and I am enjoying every minute of my training.
I currently train at Crossfit Costa Mesa with Max Mormont.
