We kick off the Female Affiliate Owners Series - celebrating International Women's Day - with Kerry Cooley, co-owner of CrossFit Iron Duke on the outskirts of Portsmouth.

In this episode Kerry shares her journey from corporate life to affiliate ownership and striving to create a safe space for all to train. It's clear inclusivity is also highly valued at Iron Duke, with mums, kids & adaptive members all accommodated and made to feel welcome.

What's apparent from talking to Kerry is the tireless effort from her and all the coaching staff to nurture the community - especially during the multiple lockdowns of 2020 and 2021.
