Since her early childhood, Etta Love has gravitated towards testing her physical limits.
These days, that toy barbell she played with at three-years-old has been replaced with steel, and she’s moved on from her mother’s CrossFit studio to her own dedicated training space in her garage.
“I can’t really remember any time in my life where there are any moments that don’t have a barbell somehow involved,” said Love. “At the end of the day it’s me on a platform with a bar. So, it’s just up to me and I get to control it, which I think is really helpful for my own brain.”
Already a multi-time Canadian junior weightlifting champion in her young career, Love is now making waves on the international stage.
