The PROGRM Athletes to Watch out for

Gabriela Migała @gabimiga
Gabi, also referred to by friends and fans alike, as the LPP (Legendary Polish Power) might be young, but she’s certainly not afraid to give the older more established athletes a serious run for their money. With 4 Games appearances and two incredible podium finishes at the 2021 Rogue Invitational and Dubai CrossFit Championship, you can rest assured this girl isn’t just showing up to participate, she’s got her eyes on the prize and isn’t afraid to push on that gas pedal.

Julie Hougård Nielsen @julie.hn
This Danish powerhouse has been her national champion for 3 consecutive years and qualified for the Games as an individual both in 2019 and 2020. Not only is she an outstanding athlete, she also happens to work full time as a medical doctor. With unmatched work ethic and dedication to what she does, inside and out of the gym, it is awe-inspiring to watch her out on the competition floor going head-to-head with the other pro athletes. CrossFit National Champion and joined The Progrm in 2018

Ella Wunger @ellakanona
Quiet but deadly, Ella has been making quite a name for herself in recent years, first making a splash in the competitive CrossFit world by qualifying to the Games with The Progrm Team in 2020. Since then she’s been consistently proving she’s one to watch in the European and international competitive space with outstanding performances through the Open to the SemiFinals stage in 2021 and this year’s QuarterFinals.

Anaïs Lancry @mai__lan
Anais is the living proof that no obstacle and no set back is big enough to stop you as long as you believe in yourself and put consistent work in day in and day out. In the matter of a year, she came back from shoulder surgery to place in the top 60 best athletes in Europe, earning a spot for herself at the SemiFinals stage.

Fernando Martin @iamfermartin
Fernando could be described as one of CrossFit Spain’s best well-kept secrets. He’s been consistently working his way up leaderboards for quite some time now and his dedication has been paying off as we are now seeing him give many of the best European athletes a run for their money. We are excited to see what he has in store for the rest of the season and the many more to come.

Moritz Fiebig @mrtzfbg
The 2021 Fittest man in Germany has been making more and more international appearances, including his participation in the 2021 Dubai CrossFit Championships. He has a thing for making heavy weights look far easier than they should, and we’re sure he has a few more magic tricks up his sleeve to show off on the Lowlands competition floor.
