Sammy Verman – Ladies & Pre/Post Partum Lead

I (reluctantly) gave CrossFit a go in 2016 after Tom had tried to persuade me to come for 2 years, and haven’t looked back since.

I have always been into Netball, swimming and water-skiing but had never found going to the gym that interesting, until I first stepped into Beowulf.

I love the methodology of CrossFit, it’s never complete, something new to constantly learn and work on and can be as competitive as you make it. I trained through my third pregnancy and post partum recovery and love that anything and everything can be scaled to all abilities.

Our community is something that has kept me into CrossFit when confidence and willing has lacked, and I’m embarrassed to say now how long it took me to give it a try. CrossFit can seem so intimidating but it is the friendliest and most welcoming place I have ever stepped into.

My speciality is working with our ladies but I honestly love coaching and interacting with our members- it’s the best job in the world! I also help or pre and postpartum members prepare for birth and the recovery process back to training once the little ones have arrived.
