Coach
Sarah Barkley
As far as I can remember I’ve been more interested in sport and athletics than anything else. Growing up, I played as many sports as possible and continued doing so until college. I’m a proud University of Montana Grizzly where I went to compete in Track and Field. My main events were the 400m hurdles and the 400m, while I also competed in the heptathlon and several relays.
After graduating college in International Business, I tried my hand at a handful of jobs, while also completing a couple of personal training certifications so I could keep my focus in not only personal development, but using my knowledge and passion to help others achieve their goals.
Moving to Wenatchee took both my career and sport a different direction. As the Apple Capital of the World, it was only a matter of time before I found myself immersed in the business of selling the worlds best apples, pears and cherries; which is what I still do today. My sport also quickly evolved, this time into competing full time in triathlon. During this time, I also became a USAT coach and worked with several athletes to chase down their triathlon goals.
This was my path for over 10 years until I was ready for a change and found CrossFit. With every year, I find myself more and more passionate about the sport of CrossFit and the community that stands behind it. As my love for the sport has grown, so too has my drive to help people achieve their goals. Creating possibility within every athlete is why I love coaching and I can’t wait to continue passing that on!
