CrossFitters in Roswell, GA are holding a fundraising for a local police officer who’s been hospitalized for the past nine weeks following a heart attack and an infection. Coach Magazine (UK) asks, “does CrossFit deserve the bad rep?” Without actually answering it, they dropped in, tried a class, and present a good beginners FAQ about CrossFit. From 2nd fittest woman in the world, to qualifying for the 2016 CrossFit Games, to heading to Rio with the Australian Olympic Weightlifting team, 23-year-old Tia-Clair Toomey is kicking ass.
