Becca Hazelwood

Becca has been a member and coach at UF since September, 2025. After nearly 10 years of Crossfit and earning her CF L-1, Becca was looking for a change of pace. The combination of challenging workouts, welcoming people, and strong sense of community at UF made it an easy fit! Outside of the gym, Becca balances a few different jobs, a love of traveling, and spending time with friends. Her biggest weakness is being invited to things so if something fun is happening around town, she’s probably already there!
