She’s back! Dani Speegle – a 5 x CrossFit Games athlete and one of the fiercest competitors in the sport – has rejoined INOV8.
Following two years away, Dani has returned home ahead of what promises to be a huge 2025 for the popular powerhouse.
As the leader of the #GirlsWhoEat movement, the Titan Games winner will also continue to use her huge-reaching platforms to spread the movement’s important message next year.
“We want to empower women to live their lives unchained by societal norms. We are fueling our bodies to change the narrative, to inspire, and to create the unimaginable,” says Dani.
We talk to Dani about her return, #GirlsWhoEat and much more in this Q&A blog post.
Welcome back Dani, how are you feeling about your return to INOV8?
Everyone loves a homecoming :)
What influenced your decision?
INOV8 was one of my first sponsors when I got into training, and I’ve always enjoyed the quality of the shoes. I’m looking forward to working with the brand to elevate the quality and comfort of the shoes both in and out of the gym for years to come.
We’ve missed you over the last two years. What have you been up to?
I’ve been building my brand, and a lot of LEGOs.
What’s a typical day in the life of Dani Speegle looking like?
I wake up and have a protein shake, read, grab a coffee and head to the gym for my morning session. After the gym, I usually get more coffee have another protein shake, and lunch. Then I head back to the gym for my afternoon session, get another protein shake in, and have dinner. I usually end the night with a movie these days.
How many hours a week are you training and what drives that motivation to push yourself harder?
28-30 hours/week of gym time. My motivation is to continue to progress and be competitive. And eat food.
What’s your favourite type of workout and why?
My favorite is anything with heavy or odd objects, or something where you have to be very athletic. Like, I love jumping over things, speed work, and workouts that require agility.
What is the #GirlsWhoEat movement and how passionately do you feel about it?
I want other women to love and celebrate their bodies. Women can do anything and be anything - lifting each other up is what helps us all rise together. This is a movement to empower women to live their lives unchained by societal norms. We are fueling our bodies to change the narrative, to inspire, and to create the unimaginable.
What goals are you setting yourself for 2025?
I am continuing to compete but there’s a lot of change in the air for this year. Outside of competition, I’m trying to continue to elevate and build my personal brand in a way that helps empower other women. I am getting more and more into fashion and expanding my business ventures both in and out of the gym.
We’ve introduced lots of newness to the INOV8 gym footwear range this year. What’s your favorites?
I think each shoe has something great to offer. The F-FLY is great because of how light they are and the versatility in my workouts. The F-LITE MAX is another favorite because of how stable it is, especially for my heavy lifting sessions and how it can also be a good compliment for regular metcons.
Finally, how do you sum Dani Speegle up in three words?
Girls Who Eat :)
