Episode 017: Rachel Dhanshaw | Crossfit Darkstar | Fitness Advocate | Functional Fitness | Coach

When I discovered that I could eat my body weight in food I thought I should find an activity that could balance that out before it caught up with me….

After a career in the oilfield, a career in real estate and a short stint as a stay at home Mom my life started to take a different direction. Selling fitness products led to getting certified  as a trainer which  led to me joining Crossfit to take my own training to the next level which quickly led to me getting my coaches certification and opening my own gym.

I immediately fell in love with the Crossfit methodology due to the undeniable results and great community. I can get a better workout in less time and enjoy doing it!

I believe training should be fun. Coaching enables me to help a large population. Learn to be better than yesterday. My favorite aspect of coaching  is to motivate athletes and empower them to maximize their potential and to help them grow & progress the way they were meant to. As an athlete you are limited to the amount of people that you can touch, but as a coach you have a domino effect, one of the things that made me a great coach was not being naturally athletic… I’ve had to fight tooth and nail for every Crossfit accomplishment.

Crossfit dark star is an adult playground with the goal being to enhance the quality of your life and my definition of Crossfit is constantly varied high intensity playing around.
