Introducing Grace Linke to the BIOCF Coaching Staff!

​We want to offically welcome Grace Linke to the Bring It On CrossFit coaching staff! Grace has been training with us for a while now and for everyone who has trained with or seen Grace workout know that she is a very strong and dedicated athlete. We are looking forward to Grace bringing her knowledge and experience to the BIOCF coaching team and helping our members reach their health and fitness goals and continue to grow as athletes:
​Here is a little bio from Grace to help you learn a little more about our new coach:

"My name is Grace Linke. I grew up on a family-run beef and sheep farm in South West Victoria with Mum, Dad and my 3 younger siblings. I graduated from year 12 in 2013 at Emmanuel College in Warrnambool. All throughout my childhood, I have loved being outdoors, helping out on the farm (particularly at shearing and lambing time), playing any kind of sport and being hands on. I had no idea what I wanted to do following school and it wasn’t until mid way through year 12 I had to get my act together. 3 years on and I have just completed my final exams as a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science at Deakin University in Waurn Ponds.
I first started CrossFit in year 11 with mum who was doing classes at a friend’s place 5 minutes down the road. I still remember trying my first pull up; I had every coloured band around the bar! I joined Bring It On in March 2015 when my friend searched CrossFit gyms in Geelong. Ever since then I’ve attended regular classes, open trainings and Olympic weightlifting classes to improve my technique, fitness and wellbeing. I completed my Level 1 CrossFit Trainer course July this year and have started to take a few classes during the week. The atmosphere and environment at BIO is incomparable to anywhere else, and I would never look back! Seeing so many people achieve their goals and improve their fitness inspired me to take the next step and start coaching to increase my knowledge and confidence in the strength and conditioning field. The family friendly community makes coaching a lot less daunting and a whole lot of fun to work up a sweat! I’m really looking forward to taking more classes in the future and getting to know the growing community at BIO more closely."
