Confident Competitor to Humble Beginner: Jayden's Journey Onto Health

from Onto Health · host CrossFit AFK

In this episode of Onto Health, we talk with Jayden, an athlete at heart who spent her younger years trying out sports until volleyball finally clicked. Playing libero and setter taught her to love strategy, movement, and team dynamics—but finding that same spark in fitness as an adult wasn’t easy. Planet Fitness felt impersonal, and motivation was hard to come by—until a friend and their mom invited her to try CrossFit. Though she initially thought she wasn’t fit enough, what she found was a sport that welcomed her exactly as she was. Years later, she’s still showing up, still loving the challenge, and still proving that fitness really can be fun. This is a story about shifting your mindset, saying yes to new things, and finding a community that meets you where you are.
