Meet our newest Apprentice coach Billie Jane! Her classes are Monday and Thursday 5:30pm.
Nick Names: Mata Hari (courtesy of Beast) or just simply Billie or BJ (props to Angry Kitten)
Favourite WOD: “Everything But the Kitchen Sink” and “Tabata This”.

How did you get into CrossFit? I wanted to try CF when I was living in TO a few years ago but spent waaay too much energy on other ‘competing priorities’. When I moved to Victoria in June 2011, cosmically the stars aligned. I settled into a flat conveniently located two buildings up from the box… I dropped in for an intro sesh with Coach Sean and, well, there you have it!
How long have you been doing CrossFit for? Since August 2011
Benchmark PR: Baseline 4:56
Hobbies: I’m pretty much game for anything active, anytime, anywhere – especially outdoorsy things these days (rain or shine, baby!)
Goals: 1) To smile through every WOD, May Flower style; 2) To be worthy of a ring from the Guardians of the Universe and join the Green Lantern Corps.

Billie Jane, you are awesome! So happy to have you on the apprentice team 🙂
Awesome. The green lantern corps would be good to have you.
BJ is hardcore! Anyone who carries a bottle of single malt in their gym bag is legit.
