Caitlin Spencer

I have been doing CrossFit consistently now for a little over a year. I was previously a competitive swimmer for 15 years and competed at the division I level in college at the University of Connecticut. One of my swim coaches in high school was a CrossFit trainer and he taught me the important of lifting with good form and helped open my eyes to how CrossFit could aid my sport. I would do CrossFit with my mom during the summers and whenever I was home for breaks in college and fell in love with the community and challenge it provided. CrossFit has helped me tremendously through my transition from being a college athlete to my post grad life. It provides me structure, a competitive atmosphere, and most importantly a welcoming and supportive community which makes going to the gym my favorite part of my day. I love how CrossFit is inclusive, adaptable and can provide benefit for people of all ages and ability levels. My 80 year old grandmother even tried CrossFit prior to the pandemic! I look forward to sharing my passion for CrossFit with others and showing members how special it is to be apart of the CrossFit Sturbridge community.
