Behind the .COM Programming with Michele Letendre

General Manager of CrossFit Dave Castro has kicked off a new series of guest programmers for the Workout of the Day on CrossFit.com. CrossFit has published a Workout of the Day every day since 2001. It has evolved to include scaling options and intended stimulus and is designed to be accessible to everyone — the new CrossFit athlete, the seasoned veteran, and anyone in between.

This latest guest for .com's programming is Michele Letendre.

Letendre is a six-time CrossFit Games veteran, former CrossFit Seminar Staff member, and founder and head coach at Deka CrossFit in Blainville, Quebec. In 2016, when Letendre retired from a career competing at the CrossFit Games, she knew she wanted to build something that would reflect her experience as an athlete, long-time coach, and Seminar Staff member.

She put her experience to use and founded Deka Comp, where she’s gone on to program and coach elite athletes, including 2023 Rogue Invitational champion and five-time Games podium finisher Pat Vellner.
