Biography

Celia started out as a swimmer. Her older sister got her into that sport at the age of 6, and Celia was competing heavily be the time she was 13. She says she was always active, and loved competing.

As she grew up and began searching for a career, Celia tried her hand at being a lifeguard as well as doing hair and makeup. In order to get back and forth to her job, around the time she was 19 years old, she began taking driving instruction. Her instructor was the son of a long-time Crossfit trainer, and told her all about the sport, encouraging her to give it a try.

In her early 20’s, Celia began applying herself to her new favorite sport, and began to see her potential.

Her first few Crossfit competitions didn’t go as well as planned. Celia was quite fit, but not very strong. So she started placing a lot of focus on weightlifting and getting stronger.

Competition History

Celia was ranked 8th in France and 386th in the world as recently as 2020.

Quotes

“I’ve learned that even if you are good enough to compete with the top girls, if you don’t believe you belong, you wont. I’ve hired a mental coach this year and it has made a world of a difference in the way I think, act and compete.”

Interviews

How did you get into Crossfit?
I started crossfit at the end of 2014 and just passed my ‘5 year anniversary’. I was helping my husband (boyfriend at the time), who was a personal trainer and had a booth at a local crossfit competition, with selling stuff. We were watching the girls and he said to me “you should try that, you’d be good at it”. I politely declined and then found myself two weeks later visiting my cousin in California getting pulled along to a class and LOVING IT. I was obsessed with learning all the movements and spent hours at the gym. The type of training brought me back to my gymnastics days and I loved that feeling of getting a new skill and getting stronger and fitter.

In the world of CrossFit, few names shine as brightly as Tia-Clair Toomey. A powerhouse athlete from Australia, Toomey has not only conquered the CrossFit Games but has also become an inspiration for fitness enthusiasts worldwide. Her journey from humble beginnings to becoming a multiple-time CrossFit Games champion is a testament to her dedication, determination, and unwavering spirit.

Biography: Rising from Down Under

Tia-Clair Toomey was born on July 22, 1993, in Nambour, Queensland, Australia. Her early life was marked by a love for sports, with a particular focus on track and field. Little did she know that her passion for athletics would eventually lead her to the world of CrossFit.

Toomey’s introduction to CrossFit came in 2013 when she walked into a local gym in Gladstone, Queensland. It was here that she discovered her true calling and embarked on a journey that would reshape her life. Her innate athleticism, combined with her unrelenting work ethic, quickly set her apart from her peers.

Competition History: From Novice to Champion

Toomey’s rise through the ranks of CrossFit was nothing short of remarkable. She quickly progressed from local competitions to regional events and eventually earned her spot on the grand stage of the CrossFit Games.

Her debut at the CrossFit Games came in 2015, where she finished a respectable 11th place. This initial taste of competition only fueled her desire to excel further. Toomey’s breakthrough moment arrived in 2017 when she secured her first CrossFit Games victory and was crowned the “Fittest Woman on Earth.”

This victory marked the beginning of a dominant era for Toomey. She went on to defend her title in 2018, solidifying her status as one of the sport’s premier athletes. Her performances showcased a remarkable blend of strength, agility, and mental resilience that left spectators and fellow competitors in awe.

Physical Attributes: Beyond the Stats

Standing at a height of 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm) and weighing around 150 pounds (68 kg), Toomey possesses a compact yet immensely powerful physique. Her dedication to training and nutrition has resulted in a body that is finely tuned for the rigors of CrossFit.

While exact measurement statistics might not be readily available, Toomey’s athleticism is evident in her performances. Her explosive power, endurance, and ability to master a diverse range of movements make her a force to be reckoned with in any CrossFit event.

Personal Insights: Behind the Athlete

Beyond the sweat-drenched arena of competition, Tia-Clair Toomey is known for her down-to-earth personality and relatability. Her journey to success has been marked by moments of vulnerability, setbacks, and triumphs. She has openly shared her struggles and challenges, becoming a source of inspiration for individuals facing their own obstacles.

Toomey’s commitment to personal growth extends beyond the gym. She holds a degree in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition, showcasing her dedication to understanding the science behind her training. Her holistic approach to fitness emphasizes the importance of mental strength and well-being alongside physical prowess.

Quotes: Words of Wisdom

Toomey’s journey is punctuated by words of wisdom that reflect her mindset and approach to life:

– “If you want something bad enough, you will find a way.”
– “Failure is only a stepping stone to success.”
– “The only thing that’s holding you back is the limitations you put on yourself.”
– “You have to be patient and trust the process.”

These quotes encapsulate Toomey’s relentless determination and positive outlook, serving as beacons of motivation for those striving to achieve their goals.

Relationship Status: A Love Story on and off the Gym Floor

Tia-Clair Toomey’s personal life took a momentous turn when she met Shane Orr, a fellow CrossFit athlete and coach. Their shared passion for fitness blossomed into a romantic relationship, and in 2017, they tied the knot. Shane Orr has been a pillar of support for Toomey, both as a life partner and as a coach who understands her strengths and areas of improvement.

Together, Tia-Clair Toomey and Shane Orr exemplify the power of teamwork and dedication. Their partnership showcases the profound impact that unwavering support can have on an athlete’s journey to greatness.

Continuing the Legacy: What the Future Holds

Despite a recent pregnancy, Tia-Clair Toomey continues to dominate the world of CrossFit. Her remarkable achievements, dedication to excellence, and inspirational journey have solidified her status as one of the sport’s all-time greats.

While the specifics of Toomey’s future endeavors might have evolved since then, one thing remains certain: her legacy will endure as a testament to the incredible heights that can be reached through a combination of talent, hard work, and unshakable determination.

In conclusion, Tia-Clair Toomey’s story is one of triumph over adversity, of pushing boundaries and redefining what’s possible. Her journey from a small town in Australia to the global stage of CrossFit serves as a source of inspiration for athletes and enthusiasts alike. As her journey continues to unfold, one can only imagine the new heights she’ll conquer and the lives she’ll continue to touch along the way.

By the way, when asked if she will ever pose nude, Toomey scoffs and says her body doesn’t have enough curves, and as a professional athlete she fears it would hurt her career.

Danielle Brandon
Danielle is a Crossfit Games athlete as well as a coach. Her Instagram is
https://www.instagram.com/daniellebrandon7/?hl=en
She currently has around 72k followers. It sounds like she attended college on a scholarship for pole vaulting. She is an incredible athlete. Maybe some of that is genetics – her parents were Olympians. She finished 20th in the 2020 Crossfit Games, and took 11th place in 2019. She is 24 years old, and stunningly gorgeous. This girl could model. And her body looks like it belongs to a greek goddess.

Alexis Raptis
Alexis is another young xfit competitor. She is 21 years old, 5’5″ tall, and weighs around 138 lbs. She lives in the Salt Lake City area. She was ranked 104th in the US this year. She has 14k followers on her instagram channel. She got into Crossfit a few years ago after suffering some injuries in gymnastics. She was also dealing with some back problems a few years ago, but hopefully she can stay healthy and competitive.

Steph Chung
Stephanie is a very popular Crossfitter who has steadily improved her ranking over the years. At 28 years old, she has gone from 130th a few years ago to 46th this year. She is 5’5″ and weighs around 150 lbs. She’s built up quite a following on instagram, with 166k fans:
https://www.instagram.com/stephchung2/?hl=en
Steph’s father is Taiwanese, and her parents enrolled her at an early age in gymnastics to help use up some of her excess energy. Like many girls in gymnastics, she suffered some injuries. This gal has a lot of personality, and she is driven to enjoy herself while competing.

Zummer Pagan
Zummer is a tiny little stick of dynamite. She weighs around 135 lbs, and stands only 5′ tall. She is 26 years old. I couldn’t find any recent competition stats, and her US/worldwide rank isn’t really relevant for that reason. She is from Puerto Rico. She has around 60k fans on her instagram account
https://www.instagram.com/veranomarie1012/?hl=en
She has an addictive smile!

Amanada Barnhart has been in Crossfit for a few years now. I see competitive results for her going back to 2014.

Her profiles list her as 5’7″ tall and 151 lbs. She is currently 26 years old. She works as a physical therapist.

She has around 21k followers on her Instagram account these days:
https://www.instagram.com/amandajbarnhart/?utm_source=ig_embed

She has what may be the world’s crappiest youtube channel, and I will only link to it reluctantly:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNoV3aOupv5lZ_wItsbY_KQ

Amanda has been athletic all her life. As a child, she practiced gymnastics. In high school, she swam, played volleyball, and ran track. When she went to college, she swam for a D1 school.

When preparing for a contest, Amanda does quite a bit of volume, which is not unusual for Crossfit athletes who oftentimes compete for the title “fittest on earth”. She loves heavy cleans. Her maxes are listed as:
squat 315 lb
clean and jerk 230 lb
deadlift 390 lb
snatch 195 lb

I don’t know many guys who can deadlift 400 lbs, much less women. Amanda is definitely strong. At such a young age, she had incredible potential if she can minimize her injuries.

Unfortunately, with Crossfit, it really is “mimimize”. It’s a sport notorious for injuries. It’s less a question of if you’re going to get injured, and more about when. I guess you can say that for any top-level sport and athlete.

Lately I’ve heard that Amanda has been training with some of the sport’s greatest, including Brooke Wells, Camille Leblanc-Bazinet, Katrin Davidsdottir, and Ehea Schuerch. I would think that will pay positive dividends in her performance.

Amanda was married a couple of years ago to Wesley Barnhart. I think they both currently live in the Ohio area.

Kayli Ann Phillips is famous cross-fit gal.

She is less popular than some of the others I have been profiling, which is really difficult to understand. She is insanely gorgeous, and has an amazing body.

Kayli is twenty-seven years old and she lives in Northern California (San Francisco to be exact). She is 5’9″ tall, and weighs around 135 lbs.

Kayli “only” has 276k followers (currently) on her Instagram account:
https://www.instagram.com/ooohbabybeast/?hl=en
I’m sure that will change and escalate quickly.

Kayli tends to set her camera down and then do her workouts in full view. She typically does this while wearing a tight sports bra and tiny booty shorts. As you can expect, this gets a lot of attention!

This girl really hustles. She works out several times a week, and always seems to video it. It takes awhile to edit and post video clips, and she seems dedicated enough to keep doing it. It will be interesting to see where her career goes, and how her fanbase grows as well.

She claims that she had no athletic background before getting into crossfit. That’s hard to believe considering her body.

Believe it or not, a Kayli Ann Phillips bio or interview is very difficult to find. We will see what we can scrounge up!

One of her favorite workouts is the Murph, which she says goes like this:
Run 1 mile
Do 100 pullups
200 pushups
300 bodyweight squats
Run 1 mile
So she times how long it takes to do this entire set of exercises, and compares that to other crossfitters. That is a really intense workout. I don’t know anybody (male or female) who can do 200 pushups. And to do 100 pullups would take most people at least 10 or 15 sets, with a few minutes inbetween each set. I think this certainly qualifies her to be a true FitBabe 🙂

Although we may have already crowned Ashley Kaltwasser as the fitbabe queen of Instagram, another notable sensation is Ms Christmas Abbott.

Although Christmas has “only” 387k followers these days, she is a gigantic Crossfit star. She owns her own crossfit gym in Raleigh. She’s been in the game 8 or 10 years, and it has hardened her body and boosted her strength to an amazing level.

She worked in Iraq as a civilization contractor, leaving college without a degree so that she could go. She is now a Nascar pitcrew member changing tires. She is thirty-five years old, and weighs around 120 lbs. She is known for eating the same thing every day – eggs, peanut butter, and an apple. Her parents named her Christmas because she was born on December 20th, close enough to the holiday to make it count.

Christmas went through some tough times as a young girl, and considered herself angry. She smoked and drank and abused her body. Then one day, I think while she was in Iraq, she had an epiphany and turned her life around. She has been on an intense fitness track ever since. In addition to her signature breakfast, she generally weighs and Continue reading “Christmas Abbott”
