🌟 AUGUST ATHLETE OF THE MONTH: VAL D.! 🌟
From swimming and ballroom dancing to boxing, kickboxing, running, and the gym, Val had tried it all before discovering CrossFit — and realizing it was everything she loved, all in one place! 💪
Her CrossFit journey has taken her from coaching to competing as a pro athlete, all while building strength, resilience, and an incredible love for the community.
Val loves weightlifting, the challenge of connecting the mind and body, and the fact that CrossFit is so much more than just fitness. For her, it has provided strength, mental clarity, and the resilience to handle whatever life throws her way.
What keeps her coming back? The people. The support, encouragement, and community that makes CrossFit such a special place. ❤️
Her advice for anyone nervous to start? Being scared of something new is normal. But if we never try, how will we ever discover what we’re capable of?
Congratulations, Val, on being our August Athlete of the Month! We’re so lucky to have you as part of the FNA community! 🎉💙
