Who We Are
our story
In 2015, Shawn and Ainsley started as members at CrossFit COL and quickly fell in love with the sport and the community. Within their first year, they transitioned to coaches & eventually realized that CrossFit COL was their home away from home. In 2017, SWAT Health Burlington partnered with CrossFit COL and became our partners in wellness. In September of 2021, Shawn and Ainsley, along with the collaboration of SWAT Health Burlington, became the new owners of CrossFit COL.
“We love our members, the community we’ve built and the support we receive but most of all we love waking up knowing that we’ve created a safe and inclusive space for people to discover the best versions of themselves.”
The CrossFit Col Difference
