Sarah Hopping Estrella

Sarah started CrossFit in 2009, shortly after falling centimeters short of qualifying for the 2008 U.S. Olympic team in Hammer Throw. CrossFit became a lifeline, providing opportunity for a healthier body image, competitive outlet, and strong community. In the years since, Sarah served on the CrossFit Seminar Staff, owned a CrossFit affiliate in San Francisco, earned an M.S. in Nutrition and CrossFit Level 3 credential, and had the opportunity to coach and compete at the CrossFit Individual Regional/Semifinals level. She has earned 8 national-level medals in Olympic weightlifting in the 75kg and 75+ kg weight classes, and coached several athletes to national-qualifying performances as well. Outside of the gym, she’s a fan of watching and playing tennis, and loves spending time with family.
