Women of CrossFit - brought to you by CrossFit Contessa

By Women of CrossFit

Women of CrossFit, brought to you by CrossFit Contessa, is focused on the improvement & empowerment of women (and some dudes!) from all walks of life. Our goal with this podcast is to educate and entertain listeners to understand and hopefully implement tips and tools to help them in and outside of the gym. Every second week we intend on having a guest join on to help shed light on different topics around women's health, CrossFit and much, much more! We hope you love listening as much as we enjoy making each and every episode!

#124 - Jo Brooker-Clark

I met her when she was 37.. fast forward to now, she's going to be 50 in 2 weeks! In that time she's owned a gym, sold a gym, had her 5th child, studied a law degree, learned Russian, opened a 2nd gym, taken up mountain biking, broke her collar bone mountain biking, still rides mountain bikes 😅 and more recently is learning a new sport - diving.

Have a listen to this amazing woman. Her attitude, values, the way she parents; lots of ah-ha moments in one of our longest-ever episodes!
