Level 3 Personal Training

My coaching career started out with personal training almost 10 years ago, but once I found CrossFit, everything changed. I began to use CrossFit methodology on myself and my clients, and was invited to have a coaching role at the CrossFit box in town.

Two years, and a few certifications later my diary was full with 1-1 coaching sessions, helping athletes master the skills of the CrossFit programme. I was no longer a personal trainer, I was a full time CrossFit coach. As an athlete, I had dreams of going to Regionals, but it became clear that was not my purpose. Coaching is what I was born to do.
