CrossFit The CrossFit Games TYR Sport Watching TYR athlete Alexis Raptis attack every workout is a reminder of what consistency looks like. 💪

I’ve been rocking with TYR since 2021—back when they were just beginning to make their move into CrossFit. They believed in me early, sent me gear, and have continued to support my journey over the years. That’s something I’ll always respect.
