Rick discovered CrossFit in 2004 while serving overseas on Embassy duty and searching for new approaches to training. After experimenting with CrossFit workouts, he was inspired by fellow Marines to make CrossFit his primary training program while stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan in 2005. Nearly two decades later, that early introduction has developed into a lasting commitment to CrossFit and its combination of functional movement, challenging training, and community.

Without a strong athletic background, she experimented with several types of training before discovering CrossFit and realizing she had found something different. Since then, she has become an avid CrossFit athlete and coach with a strong desire to share the benefits she has experienced with others. Lindsay particularly enjoys helping people discover their own capacity for strength, fitness, and long-term progress.
