#1. Rich Froning
/ @richfroning.
Rich has more than a million followers across his social
media profiles, and is the first name that comes to many minds when asked about
the CrossFit influencers they follow. He was reigning Crossfit Games champion
from 2011 to 2014, which certainly establishes him as one of the top dogs in
the arena.
He has a degree in Exercise Science from Tennessee Tech
University, where he mostly focused on wellness and physical fitness. Today he
is a proud father of three, yet has still not let up, and his passion for CrossFit
is evident and going strong. You can follow him on Instagram at @richfroning.
#2. Mat Fraser / @mathewfras
This former US Olympic weightlifter has come back after a
serious back injury to conquer the world that is CrossFit. After retiring from
the sport in 2009, he has gone on to win the CrossFit Games in three
consecutive years (much like Rich Froning himself).
If you have suffered a setback yourself, Mat’s Instagram
account at @mathewfras is
a great place to look for inspiration, and remind yourself that an injury does
not have to hold you back forever.
#3. Lindy Barber / @laurenfisher.
Lindy is an inspiration herself, coming back from spinal
injury to squat again, something her doctors feared she will never be able to
do.
She has also competed in the CrossFit Games and is ever
active. Having engaged in many different sports as a child, she is always on
the move and ready to take on the next challenge. You can follow her at @laurenfisher.

Native to Finland, Mikko Salo is another well-recognised
name in the industry. He works as a full time firefighter and offers coaching
sessions to those who also want to become CrossFit athletes.

has more than 63,000 followers on his Instagram page, @mikkosalo63, where he
shares his fitness tips and workout routines.
#5. Annie
Thorisdottir / @anniethorisdottir
Annie’s fans and followers fondly call her Thor’s
daughter not just because of her name, but her unbelievable strengthand agility.
Before entering the world of CrossFit, Annie was a talented
gymnast. Her passion for adventure and fitness have eventually led to her
joining the CrossFit Games, which she has won twice, and is the only woman to
have done so. Follow her at @anniethorisdottir.
#6. Krystal Cantu
/ @krystalcantu
Krystal has only recently joined the CrossFit arena, but has
managed to build a solid following already. She did not let her arm amputation
get in the way of achieving her fitness goals and motivating others to do the
same.
Aside from following her on Instagram at @krystalcantu, you can
tune in to her articles as well as her podcast, centred around her life and
fitness stories, on her website.

Iceland. She has won first place in the Meridian Regionals in 2015 and 2016.

She briefly stopped competing after suffering from a rib
injury in 2018, but is now training to get back in the game. If you want to get

well-loved fitness coach. In January 2014, he was paralysed after sustaining a
major spine injury in a freak accident. His fans have been following his
journey to recovery ever since.
