Jodi Laakso

Jodi has been an athlete her entire life and shortly after joining Crossfit Brighton in 2009, she was able to fill the “missing void” of being a competitive athlete. Jodi started competing as a CrossFit athlete. She competed in numerous local competitions and earned a spot to compete on a team at the 2011 CrossFit Games. Since then she has married and had 5 children so she has shifted to being a stay-at-home mom and uses CrossFit to stay in shape to keep up with the kids.

CrossFit is a lifestyle and can accommodate any phase or stage of life you are in. From intense training/competing to moving through pregnancies,  and now to just staying active to raise kids. The versatility of the training program at CrossFit Brighton is amazing. The family atmosphere and commitment level of each and every member to come to the gym and push themselves beyond limits is very inspiring. It doesn’t matter who you are or what kind of shape you’re in, this program can accommodate. I truly believe in it and that’s why it’ll always be a part of my life.
