LeLe Sileidemx
Biography:
If you’ve ever taken a class alongside Lele you know what a leader she is. Lele works hard and truly believes in herself and those around her. We remember one summer morning hearing her say “How will you know if you don’t try?” and then proceeded to push a sled with 200#s plus a small athlete on top of it for 50′.
That attitude is one of the many reasons we’re happy to have Lele on staff! She is CF-L1 Coaching Certified as well as CF Gymnastics certified and went through The CrossFit Southie intern program.
