Leblanc-Bazinet was born in
Richelieu, Quebec on October 10, 1988, to Danielle Leblanc and Roger Bazinet. Throughout her early years, she did
gymnastics at a high level for almost 14 years. At age 16, her career as a gymnast was stopped after tearing her hip. After recovering, she played senior AA
soccer and
volleyball. She later was the captain of her
flag football team in college. Leblanc-Bazinet also spent time running
half marathons,
skiing, and playing
rugby. In an interview, she said she was introduced to
CrossFit after a man told her she was not in shape at a team party. Prior to joining, Leblanc-Bazinet's parents were "totally against it" and her friends believed that it was too dangerous. However, they all decided to give it a try and have continued. ==Personal life==
