Hi, my name is Jacki Galko. I am a wife to my husband Greg, and a mama to our two beautiful children, Jackson and Charlie. I have been a member of CrossFit Steel Courage since June of 2015.
From a young age I was always willing to try new things and push myself in sports and fitness, loving the feel of competition and the camaraderie of a team around me. Fast forward to my adult years, after having my kids, I knew I needed something different in my fitness routine. I was an avid runner, mostly because it was the easiest to juggle with a toddler and a baby, but I wasn’t getting that strength training I really needed. I had heard about this crazy thing called CrossFit, and knew I needed to try it out. With a quick google search I realized there was one close to home and contacted Stacy… the rest is history!
In the past 6 years I have accomplished so much more than I have ever dreamed of. I ran my first marathon in 2016, completed a handful of half marathons, plenty of 10 and 5K’s, CrossFit competitions, Spartan Race, a few Ragnars, Ironman 70.3, Swam the Straights of Mackinaw, made it to the CrossFit Games online quarterfinals in 2021 and most recently completed an Ironman 140.6! I am so excited to be able to add coach to this list and be able to help others in their fitness journey.
I love to see people succeed physically and emotionally through fitness, and it’s something I am very passionate about. I hope to serve my CrossFit community well and help others achieve some big fitness goals in the future!
