Mom With Cerebral Palsy Crushes CrossFit Goals

Angela Brejcha, a mother from Forsyth County, has demonstrated remarkable perseverance in her CrossFit journey. For the past six years, she has been a dedicated member of Lanier Strength and Conditioning in Cumming, pushing past the challenges posed by her neurological condition, cerebral palsy.

Her coach, Amanda Thompson, highlights Brejcha's significant progress and resilience. She has not only trained consistently but also navigated two pregnancies, returning to the gym just eight weeks after her second child's birth. Thompson utilizes specialized equipment, like half jump ropes, to ensure Brejcha can participate fully in class activities.

Brejcha's dedication has led to impressive physical gains; her deadlift has increased from 40 pounds to an outstanding 175 pounds. She reports being able to do more exercises now than when she started. Thompson describes Brejcha as inspirational, noting her consistent attendance and positive attitude despite having every excuse to do otherwise.
