COURTNEY SAMWAY

Courtney was born and raised in the Wood River Valley and grew up with a passion for living an active lifestyle. She believes the diversity of functional movements and intensities in CrossFit training drastically improve the health and fitness level of any person, as well as build confidence. She began training a few years ago after being in an accident that caused a severe back injury, and since that time has experienced a more rehabilitative and restorative outcome from CrossFit programming than with any physical therapy. Courtney loves the outdoors, snowboarding, skiing, yoga, and rock climbing. She is also a Wilderness Survival Instructor and Photographer.
