Shari Szalwinski
Coach and Personal Trainer at CrossFit Dwell

During her retirement, Shari walked through the doors of CrossFit Dwell while representing McKenna Farms at a fundraiser event. Though the workout was challenging, she was immediately drawn to the variety of movements, the friendly coaches, and the welcoming community. Week by week, she saw her strength, flexibility, and confidence return. Health markers like cholesterol, blood pressure, and bone density all improved, and so did her passion for fitness. When the CFD coaching team encouraged her to pursue her CrossFit Level 1 certification, Shari realized she wanted to help others, especially older adults, see that it’s never too late to start. Shari believes deeply in CrossFit’s philosophy: constantly varied, functional movements supported by a healthy diet and a strong, encouraging community. She’s now bringing that same enthusiasm to coaching, helping others move better, feel stronger, and live healthier at every age.
