‘CrossFit my safe place’ says woman with Parkinson’s

Despite her triathlon successes, King says she soon lost interest in the discipline.

“I got bored quite quickly of the triathlons and I needed more of a challenge.

“My daughter decided to enter me into this competition where they lift heavy weights and do silly things.

“I couldn’t do any of it!

“She dragged me round this course in a pairs competition, but it was so much fun and then after that was my introduction to CrossFit.

“After that I went then into CrossFit Pembrokeshire in my local town [Haverfordwest] and I was welcomed with open arms and never looked back.”

King would go on to earn a bronze medal at the Adaptive CrossFit Games in Texas, USA in 2024.

She hopes her story resonates with others.

“I’m hoping it inspires loads of people because I just want everyone to keep moving and know the importance of keeping moving,” said King.

“Life doesn’t have to end when you get a diagnosis like young onset Parkinson’s.

“CrossFit has changed my life, it’s given me a second family and whole community.”
