Four local athletes pushed themselves to the limits in a tough national CrossFit event in Leeds.

Anthony Lister, Siobhan Moynes, Bill Moore and Kate Jarvis all train at CrossFit No Ego at Salterbeck Industrial Estate in Workington.

They had to qualify through various online workouts to gain a place at Leeds to compete for a finals’ position later in the year.

And coach Kate Jarvis did exceptionally well, finishing first and se-curing passage to the next round.

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program which is seen by many as an effective method of achieving fitness and well being for any age or ability.

It uses various pieces of equipment and body weight movements in a structured format and through a supportive gym community.

All workouts are able to be scaled to the individuals’ current ability to further improve their capacity.
