Lisa decided to get her CrossFit Level 1 certification in 2019 so she could share her passion for fitness with others. She loves to share her testimony with everyone, especially the older generations and “average joe’s” who think it is too late to get fit!
Since Lisa became active, she ran her first half marathon at the age of 41, completed a Spartan Trifecta in 2021, and completed 2000 burpees in one day in 2022 to raise awareness for Soldier Suicide. Up next for 2023 is the Spartan Ultra, a 30 mile obstacle course race. Age is literally just a number for this girl.
