KELLY EDWARDS, Owner, CrossFit Level I Certified Coach

After being fed up with a lack of results from her elliptical training sessions, Kelly came around to CrossFit. She started at home with Eva T's bodyweight workouts. Due to a persistent, encouraging and very patient husband, she finally made her way into the box.

CrossFit has really changed her life, in only the most positive ways. Like many women, Kelly had always felt self-conscious of at least one part of her body. CrossFit has provided an environment where she not only embraced, but became proud of her body’s strength! This in turn has greatly influenced her self-esteem. CrossFit has changed her life is such radical ways that she wants to share this with others.

CrossFit helps her to stay fit and to be better at life. Kelly is excited for what the future holds for her, both as an athlete and a coach. She feels privileged to go through life and be better at it with all of you.

Kelly is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with undergraduate and graduate degrees in Nursing. When she is not in the box, she is employed part time as a nurse practitioner. She likes to read, cheer on the Tar Heels, play with her pup Kaiah and spend time with her wonderful husband in her free time.
