Since school level
I was a competitive athlete and then finished 18 months of military service
in the Parachute Betallion.
I got my 3rd Dan
in Mixed Martial Arts in 1993 and also has a body building back ground since
1994. I became the only certified
Taebo instructor in South Africa and opened my own studio in 2004.
I was introduced
to CrossFit in early 2008 by a friend that is a soldier. After visiting the website I haven't
stopped. I started training on my own
according to HQ WOD's and did my Level I in Sept 2008. I became affiliated and opened CrossFit
Rebel (the 1st CrossFit box in South Africa). After winning at the 1st
CrossFit
Africa Regional
Qualifiers in May 2009 I got to compete at the Games in Aromas in July 2009.
At the 2010 Africa Qualifier I placed 3rd with the individuals and our
affiliate qualified to compete at the Games in Carsons California, I was the
coach to our affiliate.
In 2011 I finished
1st on the podium for the Africa Regionals and competed in Carsons LA.
In 2012 I took 2nd
place on the podium for the Africa Regionals. Although I am not a youngster
anymore I feel that I still have what it takes to be a competitive athlete. I
am strong minded and with any physical obstacle I will keep on fighting until
I can't do it. It is my passion to
share CrossFit and help people grow within themselves and I rely on my faith
to take me the distance.
I am training on
continuously as a competitive athlete, train clients on a 1 on 1 basis with
Personal training and Coach all the classes at B4C Fitness Centre.

Being
overweight and my battle with food addiction was the story of my life, but in
2013 I have overcome it and after loosing a lot of weight and restoring my
relationship with food I have found my drive and my passion by helping people
with nutrition and lifestyle goals. Being able to live our dream of working
together with my husband is one of the many gifts and Grace received out of
God’s hand. |
