Jacey has been married 7 years to her best friend and forever "swolemate," Steven White. Together, they have 4 wonderful children and two grandchildren. She is also a proud dog mom.
Jacey is an overcomer and knows what it meant to persevere. For two years she had to wear braces on her legs due to her legs being curved. Now, she loves to show others that they are stronger than they think, and they can do hard things.
Jacey "Loves how CrossFit wants you to be good at everything, not just one specific thing. I want to build muscle and be fast and strong....and I want to do handstands too."
