CrossFit L1 Certification Bachelors Early childhood education
Hi, I’m Staci! I grew up in athletics and went on to play basketball and softball at Urbana University, starting as a freshman in both sports. After graduation, life got busy raising my very energetic daughter, and I drifted away from sports. In my mid-40s, after losing both of my parents at a young age to heart conditions, I realized I wasn’t truly taking care of myself either. With the encouragement of my amazing husband, I returned to CrossFit at Long Road — a place I had tried years earlier and remembered for its supportive community. Almost five years later, at 50 years old, I’m in the best shape of my life, both physically and mentally. Now that my daughter has children of her own, being strong and healthy for my grandchildren is one of my biggest motivations. I’m especially grateful for my husband’s support in not only getting me back to the gym but also encouraging me to step into coaching. Today, I feel so blessed to serve as a trainer and Special Programs Manager at Long Road, where I get to help people of all ages discover a love for fitness and become the best version of themselves.
