PERSONAL TRAINING

PAULINE MAY

Director of Motivation & Coach

Pauline was the founding coach of RevUp and was with UPCF since day one. She specialized in early childhood development and was brilliant with children as well as programming to fit the specific needs for ages 3-10. Pauline received her CrossFit OL-Level 1 Certificate in January of 2022 and started coaching adult CrossFit classes as well.

If the UPCF community is a fire, Pauline was the spark that set it ablaze. It is Pauline’s example of strength in the face of adversity that led our founding team to set the dream that is UPCF into motion. In 2013, Pauline was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. An avid outdoors women, runner and mother of three, Pauline refused to allow her diagnosis to control her life. For over a year, she endured intensive treatments including chemotherapy, radiation and a bilateral mastectomy. Throughout her treatment, Pauline remained active; often against the orders of her doctors. Once in remission, Pauline dedicated herself to not only regaining but improving upon her previous level of fitness. CrossFit offered a proven and potent template from which to build on that goal. With quality CrossFit programming and an unrivaled work ethic, this cancer survivor found herself closing in on 40 years of age, in the best shape of her life. With poise and pure positivity, Pauline became a shining example of hope for everyone lucky enough to be a part of her journey.

In 2017, after several years in remission, Pauline once again sat on the receiving end of devastating news. Her breast cancer had returned; this time aggressively attacking her bones. Though a recurrence of this nature brings with it a difficult fight, Pauline remained true to her faithful and hopeful message. It was precisely this news that also set in motion the sequence of decisions and events that would ultimately lead to the founding of UPCF. For over a decade, Pauline’s family had shared a vision of forming a business based on improving lives. Facing the reality of another bout with cancer, the family decided to take immediate action in the form of what we now refer to as our “Intentional Life.” With Pauline’s fighting spirit as a guide, UPCF was born.

Pauline’s fight ended on September 3, 2022 but was not lost. She defied odds over and over and inspired thousands along the way to keep living with intention, hope and love. We will always view her battle as victorious because of the lasting impact she has left on this earth.
