Summary

Will Moorad is a four-time CrossFit Games athlete with a career spanning a decade. This August, he heads back to Madison to compete in his 5th CrossFit Games. In 2017, after being mis-diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, Moorad was forced to take a break from the sport. When he returned to competition in 2019, he achieved his highest-place position on the Games leaderboard to date, finishing 10th overall. Moorad is also a patient of Wild Health, a genetics-based personalized medicine practice he uses to help optimize his performance. He trains out of CrossFit East Nashville with PRVN Fitness.
