Brooke Ence is an elite CrossFit athlete, a movie star, a social media star, and owner of ENCEwear, an apparel brand. Resilient, relentless and real, Brooke is a Utah native, who was raised by two hard-working and driven parents. She grew up doing gymnastics, softball, swimming and dance alongside her three older siblings.
Fast-forward to 2015, Brooke placed 1st in the CrossFit California Regionals, and went on to place 14th at the 2015 CrossFit Games in her rookie year. Since then, Brooke’s built a following for her reputation as an elite competitor and her passion for inspiring others to achieve their goals.
No stranger to adversity, Brooke’s returned to elite competition this year after undergoing spinal surgery in March 2017. Beyond the box, 2018 is set to be a big year for Brooke.
Building on her breakout appearances as an Amazon woman in the blockbuster Wonder Woman and Justice League films, she’s already been nominated for a Shorty Award, launched her own apparel brand, ENCEwear, that nearly sold out its launch collection in 24 hours, and is partnering with Paleoethics to debut her own protein line.
In this episode, Brooke opens up about her childhood and overcoming insecurities. She takes us through her experience growing up LDS Mormon, how she got teased as a child for having bigger biceps than boys, how she overcame an injury both physically and mentally, and much more.
