Cyndi Rodi

Cyndi Rodi came to Brand X in January of 2003 when her three children began training in kickboxing and Kenpo karate. At that time, she was struggling with the aftermath of living for a year with an undiagnosed illness that contributed to her being unwell and deconditioned. Within a year of bringing her children to Brand X, Cyndi was convinced by Mikki Martin to try CrossFit. Skeptical but frustrated with her current condition, she dove headlong into the CrossFit program. Constantly lagging behind the other individuals in the classes, Cyndi found the encouragement of the Brand X trainers invaluable and managed to somehow stick with it and progress. Cyndi has gone on to lose almost 60 pounds and has had her life transformed in multiple ways. In August of 2005, through the generosity of the Glassman's, Cyndi became a certified CrossFit Level 1 trainer. She was invited to be part of the training staff at Brand X and began leading classes in November of that year. In early 2006, Cyndi became a contributing writer for the CrossFit Kids Magazine. Later that year, she began working at CrossFit Kids HQ as a Programmer and Trainer. Cyndi received her CrossFit Level II Certification in December of 2007. She is also a CrossFit Certified Basic Barbell Trainer, CrossFit Certified Olympic Weightlifting Trainer and CrossFit Certified Gymnastics Trainer. She teaches weekly adult and kid's classes at Brand X. Cyndi is a member of CrossFit Kids HQ and is a presenter at the CrossFit Kids Certifications. She is also a Kenpo karate student.

Cyndi's background is research based and includes working as an assistant with the UCLA-Camarillo Neuropsychiatric Research Program for schizophrenia research and as a Behavioral Therapist, designing and implementing behavioral change programs for children with disabilities. She has a B.A. in Psychology and has experience teaching public and private elementary school classes. Cyndi has been a Homeschooling parent for 14 years.
