She’s Beauty And She’s Grace. She’s Lifting All The Weights!

Gracie Walton was always setting the bar high and today she is here to inspire us all with her unique fitness journey.

Starting her CrossFit journey in only 2019, Gracie has worked her way up the ranks. She was competing in multiple local competitions and scored her first RX win at the 2022 RFX Summer Showdown in Perth. 

Hard Work is Always Rewarded

COVID-19 was most definitely a blessing in disguise for both Gracie and WA CrossFit community. 

Gracie who was living and working in London back then had a very cunning plan to go on the adventure of a lifetime and backpack through Europe. Well, life has another adventure for her, instead of a backpacking journey she went on a fitness journey.

Turns out Gracie is natural for a such dynamic and demanding activity as cross-fit. Growing up, she was always into gymnastics and cheerleading. But for her, squat cleans are her favourite. 

‘’Nothing beats the feeling of hitting a PB on the platform! ‘’

After winning the RFX Competition, Gracie also competed at the 2022 Torian Pro CrossFit competition in Brisbane.

Competing with top female athletes in Australia, Gracie finished the weekend ranked 15th overall. Soo many amazing accomplishments for such a short time, truly inspiring. We will definitely be cheering for this young athlete and we can’t wait to see!
