Bio

Veronica will tell you, she was an awkward kid with no athletic ability.  But as the years went by she made the choice to change by jogging, taking fitness classes and eating healthier meals. This led to a love for fitness and nutrition.  “We all have a starting point where it may seem impossible or unlikely to be fit or strong. Don’t look at it as a challenge, but more like a baseline, and just progress from there!” At university, Veronica met a coach who introduced her to Powerlifting which started her journey lifting heavy things. She competed for 9 years before switching to Olympic Weightlifting 14 years ago. Before long it was clear to her that CrossFit was opening the door for many people to make strides in health, wellness — and in Weightlifting! Veronica began to dabble in the many movements that CrossFit integrates and has been happy to grow as she has incorporated CrossFit into her training. “Many years and numerous coaches have taught me so much, I don’t want to keep it all to myself.”
