Wearable tech is as much a part of most modern athletes’ game-day get-up as the shoes on their feet. But recently, I spoke to a top CrossFit competitor who chooses to ditch the best fitness trackers during competition.
Aimee Cringle, the UK’s fittest woman 2024, usually wears a Garmin Forerunner 955 on one wrist and a Whoop 4.0 on the other (for real-time running paces and wider performance metrics, respectively). But she took both of them off ahead of the 2024 Europe CrossFit Semifinals event, and for good reason.
