NEWS: Coach Michele Passes Level 3 Exam

We are extremely excited (and proud) to announce that Coach Michele has passed the CCFT exam which earns her the very exclusive title of Certified CrossFit Trainer (Level 3)! In fact, Michele is one of the very few in the state, let alone the world, to earn this coaching distinction.

To pass the 4-hour Level 3 exam, Michele had to demonstrate the highest level of competence in:

  • Screening (assessing) athletes and determining relevant modification
  • Programming workouts to meet varying stimulus goals
  • Teaching, coaching and managing classes
  • Nutrition and lifestyle advancements
  • Professional responsibilities

To prepare, Michele put in countless hours studying, reading and watching CrossFit’s instructional material. But more than just “preparing”, Michele reflected on her seven years of coaching experience which included thousands of hours teaching, seeing and correcting members… or more simply put:  just making people “better.”

As a Daybreaker, you already know Michele is an outstanding coach… but now, she has put an important exclamation point on all that hard work.

Congrats Michele!
