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 a space 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, healed and regulated her body after years of hormonal imbalance, anemia, and chronic inflammation/fatigue, and received the opportunity to continue her coaching journey after coaching volleyball at the high school, club, and collegiate level for nearly a decade.

“Crossfit has been a tool that has helped me through some of the best and worst parts of my life. It has helped me heal. It helps me be in my body. It helps me feel safe in and compassionate towards my body. I am stronger, healthier, and more whole because of it. 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 children and families as a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist. She loves people and has a passion for equipping and empowering people to live their best lives, feeling safe and whole in their own bodies and walking in their own footsteps, both inside and outside of the gym!
