"Crossfit is a community that I feel privileged to be a part of and, of course, who doesn’t love a good deadlift!"

Coach Antoinette

Antoinette started her journey in 2013 and joined Crossfit Uhuru in 2018. In 2016 and 2017 she wondered into a bodybuilding format of training but her love for Crossfit prevailed and brought her to her current home - Crossfit Uhuru. She competed in the Crossfit Open in 2015 and 2019 and the Last Man Standing team event in 2019.

​

Antoinette is a firm believer that Crossfit is the best combination of training styles aimed at daily functionality. Crossfit provides a supportive community where you get to push your limits but it is scaled to every individual.

​

We are excited to have Antoinette join the coaching staff at Crossfit Uhuru as an assistant coach focusing on ladies’ classes/Crossfit lite. Crossfit gave her the opportunity to build  confidence and she believes that this community is an ideal space for women to feel empowered in their bodies. This is a perfect platform for any person that is either starting their fitness journey or looking for a community of fitness where friends become family.
