OCTOBER COACH OF THE MONTH: TRACI SCARDINA
If you know Traci, you know she’s one of the people who makes Verus what it is.
Traci is the first — and currently only — member of our 1,000 Workout Club. Nobody has put in more work at Verus than Traci.
But it’s not just about how often she works out. Traci gives back to this community in just about every way possible.
She consistently coaches one night a week and helps onboard multiple new members by hosting our Foundations course.
In 2026, she also started helping Coach Audrey Walker with our Train 4 Life Special Olympics class Special Olympics Missouri giving even more of her time to help others.
After nearly 15 years of CrossFit, Traci finally decided to put herself to the test and competed in her first official competition at the Monster Games this year with her teammate, Catherine Parker. And she’s not slowing down — she’s already training for the 2027 CrossFit Open and 2027 Monster Games. 💪
And then there are all the things most people never see…
• Washing our shower towels and gray workout towels every week
• Helping cover special events
• Representing Verus in the community
• Filling in when scheduling conflicts come up
We’re incredibly lucky to have someone who not only puts in the work for herself, but constantly gives her time, energy and effort to make Verus better for everyone.
Congratulations, Traci! You’ve more than earned it.
