In this first ever episode of Freedom Through Fitness, we're joined by Kelly Friel — international CrossFit competitor, local Southampton legend, and living proof that it's never too late to rewrite what fitness looks like in your life.
Kelly didn't start CrossFit until her mid-30s — already a mum of two, with no background in competitive sport. But what began as a spontaneous decision quickly became a path to international success in the Masters division — and a radical shift in how she saw herself, her body, and her future.
In this conversation, we explore:
What it's like to compete on the world stage
How Kelly balances training with work and family
Why fitness is about what your body can do, not how it looks
Her advice to anyone who feels like they're starting "too late"
This episode is about more than reps and results — it's about resilience, identity, and the kind of freedom that comes from feeling strong in your own skin.
🎧 Listen now, and if Kelly's story resonates, share it with someone who needs a reminder: it's not too late to start.
