Hi everyone, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself!
I'm Randi Jackson, the mom in the middle of those two glorious kids. I am embarking on a new chapter in my journey as the founder of Edgewood CrossFit, and I am over-the-moon to share this dream with our community.
Long ago, I invited someone to pray that I would someday be a full-time coach. At the time, I had zero idea what that would look like, as I was neck deep in staying home full-time to care for and enjoy my two year old twins. 3 years after that vulnerable (and possibly clueless) moment, I was introduced to CrossFit. Fast forward a few more years, and I dove headfirst into coaching at Hoosier CrossFit with a clear understanding that those hopes and prayers were beginning to unfold.
I am so thankful for the work I get to do every day. I coach and train ordinary people to challenge themselves, try something new, stay consistent, and grow in extraordinary ways through CrossFit. I have discovered that CrossFit is for EVERYONE, no matter the age, background, health, or level of ability.
In December 2023, I became more aware of a shift in my coaching interest, with a root in the belief that all kids deserve a safe environment to experience high-quality coaching with no obstacles. Also, kids deserve to be seen and heard, to be included and accepted, to be offered long-term wellness and fitness solutions that will make a lasting impact on their generation. And teachers? Well, they deserve the world for all the selfless, caring work they do day after day. Wearing this spirit with intention, it's my mission to share the goodness of CrossFit with as many students and teachers as possible!
If you are a student at EJHS, or one of those wonderful teachers and staff working in the RBB district, I am preparing, with great anticipation, to be your Coach this year. I look forward to introducing you to CrossFit, to supporting your goals, and to building a better & stronger community.
Soon, I'll share how you can get involved. We will offer classes after school for students, and classes for teachers & staff as well. I will work, in partnership with the school, as a resource for teachers, students, and families that can supplement and enhance classroom experiences, as well as create unique fitness pathways for those who need it most. And, best of all, this will all be done through the generous support from our partners and donors. I am so thankful to be of service to our wonderful RBB community!
Stay tuned! I can't wait to see YOU in the gym!
