Veronica Virginia Aguila FROM USA TO AFRICA /FROM POWERLIFTER TO CFFT L3

Less than 1% of all Crossfit® trainers hold the CCFT/L3 credential! 
Let me introduce one of these rare specimens, Veronica Virginia Aguila who’s actually working out at Crossfit® ENGIN38 in Egypt and was coaching in Kenya at First Power Crossfit®, her first landing in Africa, and also team with whom she competed in 2021 semifinal at Fittest in Cape Town. This incredible 42 years young woman  native from Chile, born in Virginia got is L1 15 years ago for the first time, when most of us was defining fitness by biceps curl…

From competitor Powerlifter to crossfiter through USA weightlifting course , she brought her knowledge from San Diego to Kenya where at this time only 2 boxes was open in the all country when 75 was actif just in San Diego! But because best life moments are not a matter of numbers, Veronica talk about her adopted land as an amazing experience.

« It’s been a real blessing »

To be at the beginning of something, bring its share of surprise and excitement.
Because relationship behaviors are contagious, we can easily understood what she means by blessing. We all know how functional fitness can change a life, so I let you imagine the feeling when you are one of those who bring this change. As I understood coming in this fresh Crossfit® environment has been benefic for the local fitness community but also for her, because enthusiasm bring enthusiasm

Jacqueline Mota Fortes member of First Power community Says about her:
« she’s the sister of everybody, she put God in first and achieve everything because of that »

What an achievement to get to CF level 3, especially since this road like all road to the success, has not been a straight line. Effectively she took the test twice!
What some would have call that a stepback, has been definitely a springboard through an internship in Crossfit® in the hope to be part of the training staff. All this process bring her back to the roots of coaching fundamentals (L1 course), what finally help her to pass the L3.

Because we never stop learning Veronica is learning Arabic and focus on gymnastic skills. She reminds us how functional fitness can impacted a life. From chubby always picked up last in sport to athlete and charismatic coach, she learned us how nothing is unchangeable or permanent! Fitness is an amazing tool.

Congratulation Veronica for your L3, and I wish you the best!
