It’s official: Tia-Clair Toomey and her husband and coach Shane Orr are moving to Cookeville, Tennessee. The pair confirmed the news in a recent interview.
Rumors of the move have been swirling ever since it became known that Toomey and Orr had put their gym up for sale. It also came up in a CrossFit Games update video. At the time, though, nothing was confirmed.
In the interview, they explained that moving to Cookeville has been on their radar for quite some time, and they enjoy the area. The most recent changes to the 2019 competitive season only fueled their decision even more.
This week, Toomey hinted at the big change in a sweet Instagram post.
Cookeville has become the place to train if you’re one of the sport’s elites. Mat Fraser moved there, and Sara Sigmundsdottir, Dan Bailey, and James Hobart have all trained there.
