In Feb 2018 Michele Mootz started the CrossFit Wellness Program focused on bringing CrossFit to populations that were not being addressed including those with serious chronic diseases as well as aging adults over 65 including those with cognitive impairment. We discuss the tremendous benefits they have seen to date. We also discuss the impact COVID has had on this program and the overall health of this community of individuals.
Michele Mootz was a Physical Therapist for 13 years before starting work with CrossFit. She is currently the Program Director for CrossFit Wellness as well as a Flowmaster for CrossFit Training Department.
