About Piper

I was born, raised and still live in Columbia. I’m currently a student in the Dietetics Coordinated Program at Mizzou. Outside of the gym, I love taking my dog on long walks, going on trail runs and going out with my friends. On any given night, there's a 90% chance that you'll find me getting ice cream with friends.

How I Found CrossFit 

I was a high school athlete and decided not to continue my sport in college, but I still wanted to workout. In 2021, one of the coaches here at Aggregate told me I would love CrossFit, so I came and tried a class. I became an unlimited member immediately after my first week! My favorite thing about CrossFit is the people. I’ve been able to meet so many people that I would've never met outside of the gym. Specifically to coaching, my favorite thing about CrossFit is watching accomplishments. Cueing something right for a person and watching their success is the best.

Motivation & Passion

I do CrossFit because I want to be functionally fit. So many facets of fitness make it hard to pick something to ’specialize’ in but CrossFit covers everything. I can choose to join a local weightlifting competition or do a triathlon because of the foundation of fitness that CrossFit has given me.

If you are contemplating starting CrossFit, do some at-home workouts. CrossFit has a great online resource if the in-gym setting is intimidating. Once you feel that you’ve got those handled, come see us and we’ll make you sweat!
