Train like a Beginner – WIN the Olympics feat. Olivia Reeves (Watch on YouTube)

Listen to her full interview on our Patreon.

Olivia Reeves’ journey into the world of weightlifting began in a CrossFit gym owned by her parents. It was there, at a young age, that she discovered her passion for strength and movement.
