I’ve been an athlete my whole life, starting before primary school with athletics. In primary school up to my Matric year, I was part of the Top 10 Athletics team. I started out with short distances, but my love for long distance running came in the then Std 4 (Gr6), when I was forced to fill in for the 1200m, for a friend who got injured before race day. From that day I was hooked on running. I competed in numerous provincial competitions in athletics.

In 2012 I found Crossfit, which  also had a positive impact on my running. I loved Crossfit so much that I decided to do my Level 1 and started coaching at our Box. I did my Certificate in Fitness in 2015 and I’m now also a Personal Trainer at our local gym, Body Life.

I received my permanent number (5 races) for Kosmos 3in1 (73.3km) in 2014 and my green number (10 races) for the Comrades Marathon in 2015.

The goal of Crossfit was so designed healthier humans with a better quality of life. I love what CrossFit has done for me. I choose the world of fitness to help them make better choices regarding their own health. Dads who want to play with their kids again without getting out of breath. Moms who want to go for a walk around the block without feeling they dizzy. The goal is to be better than yesterday.
