How CrossFit Forged This Firefighter

Laine Byg is a firefighter, rescue diver, and CrossFit athlete. She uses the fitness she gets at Koda CrossFit Iron View in Louisville, Colorado, to help in her job while she’s saving lives and going from one emergency to another. The functionality of CrossFit’s movements and the scalability of the workouts mean her training translates directly to the job. And because the workouts are constantly varied, she’s never doing the same thing twice — which mirrors the job itself, since no two calls are ever the same. That’s the unknown and unknowable that CrossFit prepares her for, and it’s exactly what she needs going from one call to the next.
