Shelby Neal put on a show last year at the 2023 CrossFit Games, fighting hard through some major cuts to finish 18th in her rookie season. As a previous teen CrossFit Games athlete, she had some experience behind her, but had fought to make it to the Games as an individual. During this episode, we chat about her journey from gymnastics to CrossFit, through to now being a competitive athlete and full time engineer. Proving that some people really can do it all. We also touch on her Quarter Finals experience, training with ‘The Professor’ and legend of the sport, Brent Fikowski, and how it’s helped prepare her physically and mentally for the season.

If you have watched any of the ‘Fittest on Earth’ documentaries, you will definitely have seen this week’s guest in action. As one of the hot contenders of the CrossFit Games from 2016 to 2018, Tennil Reed-Beuerlein had a stellar career in the sport of fitness. I was so excited to sit down with her this week and chat about her numerous experiences, plus how she views training now as a Mum, and whether or not she’d ever go back to competing. As someone who appreciates every ounce of life, and is out of the competitive realm of CrossFit, Tennil’s insight is super welcomed and I loved hearing all about her journey.

If you know the name Hannah Black, it may well be due to her winning the max snatch event in the 2023 CrossFit Games semi finals. She well and truly put herself on the map and made her one to watch going into 2024. After this episode was recorded, it was announced Hannah was going TEAM with Invictus Unconquerable out of CrossFit Invictus - an awesome twist but a fun way to see her hopefully reach the Games later this year.
