Coach Keely
Keely has been involved in CrossFit for nearly 10 years and has dabbled in swimming, powerlifting, and competitive Irish dance.

She believes that exercise should be fun and accessible to everyone and is passionate about making the gym a safe and inclusive space. As a self-identified lifelong learner, Keely is always looking to increase her knowledge in the fitness and coaching space. Keely has completed her Bachelor’s degree in Sport and Exercise Science and is currently working on her PhD on the relationship between physical activity and cognitive function.
