Heidi "chocolate puma" George grew up in Ohio but really found her roots when she moved out to Northern California and adopted the "not-so" hippie life-style that is usually associated with her dreadlocks and tattoos.

 

She has been interested in health and fitness since high school and always found a way to keep this area a constant in her life. Before she discovered CrossFit, she studied and competed in Taekwondo. She won State Championship two years in a row and took Gold at the 2006 AAU Taekwondo National Championships.

 

It wasn't until 2009 that she became obsessed with CrossFit, after becoming a member at TJ's Gym in San Rafael, California. In 2010, she became a CrossFit Level 1 certified trainer and has competed in various CrossFit competitions.

 

Heidi is a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and continues to eat copious amounts of raw chocolate on a daily basis. You can discover more about the "Chocolate Puma" at thechocolatepuma.com.
