Kayla, originally from Grafton MA, first encountered CrossFit during her sophomore year of college in 2010 when her sister began training at a box in MA. 

Kayla's CrossFit journey spanned from 2010 to 2020, marked by intermittent participation due to her commitments to college soccer, pursuing a Master’s degree, and starting a family. In 2020, facing mental health challenges and a decline in confidence, she took a decisive step into CrossFit Breaking Barbells. Since then, she has been unwavering in her commitment, finding strength and a sense of community that has been both welcoming and encouraging.

Kayla's dedication to CrossFit stems from its unique community spirit, where competition coexists with camaraderie. She appreciates the support and encouragement that the CrossFit Breaking Barbells community provides, fostering not only physical strength but also mental resilience.

The most significant impact of CrossFit on Kayla has been through its community. She treasures the friendships formed and genuinely loves every member at her box. Welcoming newcomers into their close-knit family brings her great joy.

Kayla wants others to understand that while walking into a CrossFit box may seem intimidating, the experience is rewarding, and the sense of community makes it worthwhile.
