Rachael (a.k.a. the newest CFLT Team member)!

Hi CFLT Community, I am very excited to get working and get sweating with this amazing group of people!  A little bit about me: I started my CrossFit journey in early 2015 with Caileigh and Caleb as my awesome coaches!

Why Do My Wrists Hurt When Weightlifting?

The wrists are amazing joints in the body! They have so many little intricate pieces working together towards a common goal.

Are You Effectively Dealing With Stress? 

Stress is a part of everyday life, in fact we need it. Sometimes it gets a bad rap, perhaps because too much stress can be a problem; even causing disease. We intentionally introduce stress to our bodies in CrossFit in order to make it stronger. The interesting thing is we don’t actually get stronger in […]

Scaling and The Ego

Everyone has a different reason for joining CrossFit. After a while, your list of reasons are likely to  change and grow longer.  Most of us just start out with the desire to improve our general fitness and as far as reasons are concerned, you really don’t need anything more than that. After a while you […]
