April, a longtime member of CrossFit Belleville since 2019, stunned the strength world at the 2025 World Strength Games in Utah—breaking three world records in a single weekend. She carried 250 lbs per hand for 50 feet in the Farmers Carry, hauled a 208-lb stone for 76.5 feet, and conquered the Super Yoke with a 695-lb carry over 50 feet.
April’s strength journey began at CrossFit Belleville, where she built a rock-solid foundation through years of functional training. Her coach, Coach K, has been by her side since her very first On Ramp session. About a year ago, April set her sights on strongman, and just four months ago, she and Coach K began a focused, event-specific training program designed to push her limits. The results speak for themselves.
The entire CrossFit Belleville community rallied behind April as she competed on the live-streamed stage in Utah, cheering her on with pride. Her discipline, power, and dedication—shaped by years of CrossFit and expert coaching—have made her a world record holder and an inspiration to athletes everywhere.
