About
As a physical therapist and CrossFit athlete, fitness is a strong theme in all aspects of my life. It creates the framework of how we practice at Onward Physical Therapy, and being able to coach CrossFit classes at Badger allows me to reach even more people to help change lives through the CrossFit methodology.
Turning Point
CrossFit has been monumental in dealing with grief. Whether it's having a goal and training for something specific or being a part of a community to support you, being a member at Badger has helped support me through difficult times. CrossFit is a way to maintain physical health AND mental health.
Passion & Motivation
I love seeing the change people go through when they start CrossFit. When you accomplish something with your body and mind that you never imagined was possible, something changes in the way you look at yourself. This bleeds into so many other aspects of your life in such a positive way. Being able to support and guide people in that process is why I coach.
