Becky Lynch’s Workout Routine
Weekly Routine
Slow Start
Lynch may look like she spent her entire life in the gym, but she actually failed PE as a teen. Flunking gym class motivated her to get fit.
Superstar Trainer
Lynch works with celebrity CrossFit trainer Josh Gallegos. He regularly creates new routines for her to keep things fresh.
Think Outside the Box
Because Lynch spends a lot of time on the road, she and her trainer must come up with creative ways for her to train, often with no equipment at all.
Daily Dose
Lynch works out virtually every day and considers it as important for her mental health as it is for her physical health.
Couples’ Training
Lynch says working out with her fiancé Seth Rollins helps them both. He works to match her speed and endurance while she is forced to push harder to keep up in strength training.
CrossFit She-sus
While Lynch has tried out a lot of different types of exercise, CrossFit is her favorite. She is such a big advocate, she calls herself the ‘CrossFit Shesus’ (Jesus). She can deadlift 300 lbs.

Becky Lynch’s Lifestyle
Serious Hit
During a 2006 match, Lynch sustained an injury to a cranial nerve that nearly ended her career. She was deeply depressed for several years.
Rough Start
Lynch struggled with drinking and substance abuse as a teen. Wrestling helped her straighten out, and she gave up all the bad stuff.
Bring In the Clowns
Unlike a lot of people, Lynch adores clowns. She says she loves acting foolish, and that was part of the attraction of wrestling.
Want Ice With That?
As if she didn’t log enough air miles through wrestling, Lynch once worked as a flight attendant for Aer Lingus. After a couple of years of passing out headphones and peanuts, she was ready to head back into the ring.
Alternate Reality
Lynch says that if she weren’t a pro wrestler, she’d be acting and writing for the stage and screen, especially sit coms. She actually has a degree in acting from the Dublin Institute of Technology.
