Abigail Poulin

When Abigail finished college volleyball, she was looking for a new athletic challenge. Her friend had just gotten his L1 and was coaching at a Crossfit gym in Shawnee, OK. He kept asking her to come try one of his 5am classes. She finally did and she loved it enough to keep coming back. Crossfit gyms have served as spaces where Abigail not only grew as an athlete, but also where she fell in love with her husband and got engaged, made life-long friends, and received the opportunity to continue her coaching journey after coaching volleyball at the high school, club, and collegiate level for 7 years.

“Crossfit has been a tool that has helped me through some of the best and worst parts of my life. It helps me cope. It makes me feel better. It makes me stronger and healthier. It brings me amazing community and friendships. I am honored to play a small part in offering to others the same things Crossfit has taught and given me.”

If Abigail isn’t helping people in the gym, she’s helping students, neighbors, couples, and families across Oklahoma as a non-profit coordinator and graduate marriage and family therapist. She loves people and has a passion for equipping and empowering people to live their best lives, both inside and outside of the gym!
