Growing up, Morgan Porter (@morgannporter) was heavily involved in gymnastics. Her gymnastics career started at age 6 and finished at 23 when COVID-19 forced her senior season at Mizzou to be cut short.
After graduating, she was encouraged to try CrossFit due to her background in gymnastics. She instantly fell in love with the sport and has seen tremendous progress over the last four years.
From being a CrossFit Newbie to competing at the West Coast Classic as an individual semifinalist, she has transformed through CrossFit in so many ways.
“I have a very competitive spirit, so CrossFit was honestly the perfect sport for me to transition to in terms of being able to continue doing high skill movements and staying competitive against others, and more importantly, myself.”
Morgan tells us that she loves being a Driven athlete because of the commitment to the athletes and community to deliver the best products possible. She also had the opportunity to meet some of our crew at Monster Games and that built her excitement even more!
“They motivate us to keep pushing boundaries, to be “driven by excellence, and to be the best version of yourself that you can possibly be.””
We asked Morgan what advice she would give to someone who is starting on their fitness journey. She recommends that they take it one day at a time and consistency wins! She believes that fitness is a life game and you won’t see immediate results.
“You are not going to see change from day to day, but if you stay consistent and look back a year or two from now, you will see the change and the growth. You will surprise yourself.“
Morgan’s favorite Driven product is the Fresh Lemonade AMINO and she takes it before, during, and after her workouts! She says it's the perfect summer drink and it is guilt free!
Morgan, thank you so much for being a Driven athlete and representing our brand so well!
