Seven-time CrossFit Games Champion and undisputed Fittest Woman on Earth, Tia-Clair Toomey, has hinted at her retirement following the 2025 Torian Pro CrossFit Semifinal, set for May 30 to June 1 in Brisbane, Australia. Her words, “my moment to say goodbye to this chapter,” have ignited widespread speculation across the CrossFit community, potentially signaling the end of one of the sport’s most dominant eras.
Toomey’s career redefined excellence in the sport. From her debut in 2015 to her final Games win in 2022, Toomey not only dominated physically but mentally rewrote what it meant to be a champion. Her performance history includes seven CrossFit Games titles, four Rogue Invitational wins, and a near-mythical consistency that made her nearly untouchable for over a decade.
Her embrace of Hyrox, a high-intensity functional fitness race, represents an exciting shift. With a broad fan base and rising popularity worldwide, Hyrox could become the new frontier where Toomey continues to set records and redefine athletic standards—this time on a different stage.
The phrase “sunset ride” she used to describe her post-competition vision reflects peace, purpose, and profound fulfillment. If the Torian Pro is indeed her final CrossFit event, it won’t be remembered as an end—but a beginning.
We’ll be watching in Brisbane. Not for a goodbye. But for the celebration of a legend.

The 2025 Torian Pro: A Full-Circle Moment
Returning to her homeland for what could be her final competitive appearance, Toomey’s selection of the Torian Pro as a possible retirement stage is no coincidence. Held in Brisbane, Queensland, the event symbolizes a return to where it all began—an emotional, symbolic farewell in front of a home crowd. She’s not just ending a chapter; she’s closing a legacy with intention.Reflections on a Decade of Dominance
In a recent video announcement, Toomey shared a heartfelt reflection on her CrossFit journey—one that spanned over a decade. She credited the sport for transforming her from a “green little girl” into a seasoned, disciplined athlete and resilient human being. The physical grind shaped her into a champion; the mental challenges molded her into a leader, role model, and icon.Retirement or Transition?
Though retirement seems likely, Toomey has left the door slightly ajar. Her phrasing—“this chapter”—strongly suggests she’s not stepping away from athletics altogether. In fact, she’s already confirmed participation in the Hyrox World Championships in June 2025. The torch may be passed in CrossFit, but Toomey’s competitive fire clearly still burns.Her embrace of Hyrox, a high-intensity functional fitness race, represents an exciting shift. With a broad fan base and rising popularity worldwide, Hyrox could become the new frontier where Toomey continues to set records and redefine athletic standards—this time on a different stage.
