As owner of CrossFit Washington I strive for an inclusive, friendly, upstanding environment. I fell in love with the community after diving head first into CrossFit in 2018. I now operate a nutrition program to compliment the physical demands of CrossFit and I am passionate about helping you achieve your goals through friendship, fitness, and health & wellness!

I’ve been doing CrossFit for about  11 years.
I grew up playing all sports. Football, basketball, and baseball all throughout high school. I played a few years of football at Missouri State. I love competition and always played traditional sports but after college I began to experiment with triathlons, half marathons, mountain/road biking, wake-boarding, and snowboarding. I basically like anything competitive or outside sports like golf, hunting and fishing. I found CrossFit at CrossFit 806 in Amarillo, TX in 2011 and it instantly became a passion of mine where the competition and community was something I was striving for. This picture was my first competition and is the motto of CrossFit Washington, “Better Than Yesterday”. CrossFit has also been a way for me to escape from work/life stress and blow off some steam with friends in a positive atmosphere. I’ve been to over 50 boxes nationwide, and I was really excited when I found a great community with a strong team to be a part of right here in Washington, MO. 

After years of figure skating competitively Sila came to the soul crushing realization that her Disney on Ice career probably wasn’t going to pan out and she should probably focus on school. Sila graduated from Oklahoma State University and went on to Syracuse University of Law (watch out Elle Woods). Needless, to say all the late nights, tailgates, and eating out caught up with her. It wasn’t until the summer of 2015 when Sila was the maid of honor in one of her sorority sister’s weddings that she realized how out of control her weight had gotten. Sila slowly began making lifestyle changes and finally mustered enough courage to walk into a CrossFit box in May of 2016. By August 2016, Sila was hooked. CrossFit has not only helped Sila lose a tremendous amount of weight, but to lead a healthy, happy, active lifestyle.

Things Sila loves: lifting heavy, petting all the puppies, swinging kettle bells, loving on all the babies that come in the box and then giving them back to their parents, and hip extensions for days.

Things Sila doesn’t love: Running, spiders, ketchup, and wall balls.

You can find Sila in the box most days, probably busting out some sweet dance moves in the middle of a wod or chatting up a storm. When Sila isn’t in the box or courtroom, she enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and two old grumpy puppies.
