Summary

Feeroozeh Saghafi is a two-time CrossFit Games athlete who made her individual debut at the 2019 CrossFit Games. She’s currently gearing up for her second appearance this August in Madison. She has also made multiple appearances on the Regional and Sanctional stage both as an individual and team athlete. Fee’s rise to the elite level is remarkable. When she first started attending CrossFit classes, she had no aspirations of competing; she was looking to lose weight and surround herself with a healthy community. As she began consistently attending classes, she grew to love how strong and powerful she felt, and she was inspired by seeing other elite athletes. A competitive fire was born. For several years Fee trained alongside Scott Panchik at CrossFit Mentality, and recently she has moved to Florida to train with Brute Strength. You can connect with Fee via Instagram. @fee.saghafi Resources: Lycam Fitness Feroz barbell will be available after the CrossFit Games here with proceeds benefiting Buddy Strong Academy Beauty in Strength video Related Episodes: Ep 115 - Becoming a CrossFit Games Athlete: Feeroozeh Saghafi & Erin Vandendriessche Ep 18 - Scott Panchik and his Father on Running an Affiliate, Competition, and Recovering from Injury If you like this episode, please subscribe to Pursuing Health on iTunes and give it a rating or share your feedback on social media using the hashtag #PursuingHealth.
