The top 10 crossfit athletes to follow on Instagram

Whether you need motivation to work out or want to stay in touch with the best in the field, CrossFit Instagram athletes deliver. From inspiring photos to words of wisdom, a glance at the right Instagram feed can be just what you need to stay on track with your own fitness goals. While rating the best CrossFit athletes can be subjective, we think these are 10 of the best:

1. Rich Froning

With nearly 1 million followers as of this writing, no list of CrossFit Instagram athletes would be complete without Rich. He is a devoted Christian, husband and father. He offers training programs in CrossFit Mayhem and plenty of inspiration on Instagram.
