Be Lifted Choose Your Coach, Change Your Life

If ever there was a year to follow two coaches, this is the one. Camille LeBlanc-Bazinet and Amber Dodzweit Riposta are two of the most incredible, humble and adept athletes on the planet, and each has a body-positive message that rings true on multiple levels.

What’s more, they are real people with real faults and unruly hair and pimples and “boogies.” They both have an incredible sense of humor, and during filming, they had us laughing until we cried and taught us how to dance-pose and perfect our Blue Steel in between squat and deadlift tutorials. They are fun and frank, and although you’ll probably work harder than you even have with a workout program, you’ll enjoy every minute of it.

Read on to see what each coach has in store for you this year, and see whether you can actually choose just one amazing woman to lead you through the next 90 days.

Coach Camille

Camille Leblanc-Bazinet competed in gymnastics from age 3 to 15 when an injury arrested her trajectory. Afterward, the French-Canadian dabbled in all manner of sports — soccer, volleyball, flag football, skiing — and even played rugby one summer, which is when she discovered CrossFit. “We used it for conditioning, and I loved it right away,” she says. “It was hard and different, and it was a challenge.”

Within months, LeBlanc-Bazinet was all in with the new sport, and in 2014, she won the CrossFit Games and earned the title of the “Fittest Woman on Earth.” All totaled (so far), she has finished top 10 in four out of her seven Games appearances and has won five out of her seven regional competitions. And she shows no signs of stopping any time soon.

THE POWER CLEAN (Discover this dirty little secret for better functional fitness.)

OLYMPIC LIFTS ARE A VALUABLE TOOL FOR IMPROVING STRENGTH and athletic performance — and as a side bonus, they also help develop crazy-good muscle shape, size, and definition. In fact, one could argue that the power-clean portion of the clean-and-jerk is the best exercise ever devised. “The clean is a functional movement used [routinely] in everyday activities,” says Aaron Viscounte, CSCS, head coach and manager at Summer’s Fitness Inc. in North Canton, Ohio. “We use aspects of the clean to pick up a box and put it on a shelf, move furniture or even go grocery shopping.” During a power clean, the barbell travels from the floor to the “racked” position at shoulder level and back down again. We tapped some elite trainers for their step-by-step expert advice on making the most of every rep.
