Tia‑Clair Toomey‑Orr CrossFit: Meet the Aussie mum who has just been crowned the world's fittest woman for the eighth time - as she reveals her training secrets and the abuse she has to put up with
Tia‑Clair Toomey‑Orr has done it again. The Queensland ‑born superstar has cemented her place as the greatest CrossFit athlete of all time, taking out her eighth consecutive CrossFit Games title in Albany, New York. No one has ever matched the feat. It's double the men's record, and more than quadruple the number of wins any other woman has ever managed in the discipline. Her streak has lasted a decade and shows no signs of slowing down. Toomey‑Orr now boasts ten Games appearances and a place in sporting history that is unlikely to be matched in the near future. 'She is the greatest we have ever seen come through this sport,' the commentator declared as the Aussie accepted her medal. In addition to the trophy, she pocketed more than $430,000 in prize money. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TYR Sport (@tyrsport) But along with her remarkable record has come a steady stream of shocking online abuse. Social media lit up after her most recent win with both praise and poison. 'She's an absolute athlete and often doesn't get the recognition she deserves,' wrote one fan. Others were less kind: 'Except CrossFit isn't a real sport.' One user went further: 'Training for CrossFit is so stupid – I train to do not actually compete at any sport.' Some criticised her physique with the tired old line, 'She looks like a man.' Others made baseless doping accusations. 'If you can be openly on steroids then it's not a sport,' one troll posted. Her defenders clapped back: 'She gets tested more times than the quantum of your IQ.' Toomey‑Orr shut down the noise with just four words: 'Nothing left to prove.' For Toomey‑Orr, daily life is a balance between elite training and being a mum to daughter Willow. 'I tend to wake up around 6am when Willow wakes up, or sometimes Shane takes over so I can rest a little longer,' she said. Her morning starts with mobility work using the pliability app. By 9am, she and husband Shane are at the gym. Training runs until around 6pm before she heads home for some family time. Dinner is around 7pm, followed by Willow's bedtime routine. 'I love cuddling with Willow, so we usually wind down around 9pm for some mum‑and‑daughter time,' she said. While Toomey‑Orr's schedule changes with the season and the demands of competition, there are certain principles she refuses to compromise on. She begins each day with mobility work, devoting at least 15 minutes to stretching and joint‑opening movements that keep her supple and help prevent injury. It is something she credits as one of the major reasons she has been able to train and compete at the highest level for so long. Consistency is another pillar of her success, even on days when her commitments as a mother make it impossible to complete a full session. She will still carve out time to work on her fitness, confident that showing up every day in some capacity is what separates elite athletes from the rest. Just as important is her approach to nutrition. She fuels her body with a diet rich in vegetables and wholesome, nutrient‑dense foods that sustain her energy for the long hours she spends in the gym. There are no crash diets or short‑term fixes – just a disciplined commitment to eating in a way that supports performance and recovery. Together, these habits have created a foundation that allows her to push her limits without breaking down, and to keep winning when the margin for error at the top is razor thin. Mobility, she says, has been a game‑changer. It prevents injury, aids recovery, and keeps her consistent, even through pregnancy and postpartum training. She uses yin‑yoga inspired movements for reflection and self‑care. Since becoming a mother, that small window of quiet time has been more important than ever.
