Kari Pearce - SquadWOD

Kari Pearce is a 4 Times CrossFit Games athlete, and is the 2018 Fittest American Female.

And we were pumped to have her as our motivator at Brick Grand Central .

Pearce has been involved in fitness her whole life. She started gymnastics at the age of 3 and did it for 18 years.

After competing in college for the University of Michigan Varsity Women’s Gymnastics team, she found weightlifting, then did a physique show and a powerlifting meet before starting CrossFit.

November 2014 is when she began CrossFit and has been to the Games all 4 years since.

Watch as she inspired the women to always reach for their goals and stand strong in their beauty and their strength.

Heidi Jones

Heidi's philosophy on and off the workout floor is all about that positive push. She believes that the path to our best version is to flip that sneaky mental narrative when the workouts and/or life go dark and stormy. 'The mind can be a tricky directive. It will, all too often, not fuel our subconscious with the positive courage to tackle all that comes our way. In fact, it will allow fear to loom large and create self-doubt. Consequently, it will result in what I believe is an immobilization of your ‘true self.' One way Heidi has found to rewrite the narrative is through fitness. 'It's been shown in my and my client's lives that accomplishments on the court, track, field or in the gym aren't left behind once the workout is over.' Heidi believes we take those incredible highs or 'a-ha' moments with us and we use them when life handles us challenges. 'We have re-written our physical tolerance and that most definitely transfers over into our mental and emotional tolerance in life.' Heidi has privately trained fitness clients and runners for half and full marathons for more than ten years. She has also taught at multiple spin studios and CrossFit studios in New York City.
