SAA is grateful to Chad Rames, Owner and Head Coach at CrossFit Eminence & Eminence Barbell Club and Coach Chelsea!
Each holiday season CrossFit Eminence (a CrossFit gym based in Thornton, CO) hosts a charity event called “Crush the Coach.” Each staff member picks a charity that is important to them, and a list of workout movements is posted in the gym. Members donate to each staff members’ charities by paying for coaches to complete the movements. For example: a $1 donation could be given for a push-up or sit-up to be completed. Staff raised funds throughout the month of December, and the event was held on December 21st, 2023 with staff completing all movements purchased.
Coach Chelsea raised funds to assist the Spondylitis Association of America with their research for a cure and awareness efforts due to her personal family connection to AS diagnoses. She is passionate about both raising awareness to this disease and encouraging everyone around her to see their health and mobility as a gift. Chelsea says, “I’m grateful to have a platform to be able to fundraise and help! I hope the event concept inspires others to do the same.” We couldn’t agree more. Many thanks to Chelsea for participating in the event and to Chad for offering the opportunity for his team to give back. To learn more about this event and CrossFit Eminence in Colorado,
