Three years ago, she started working out joined The Gym Group in Dorchester.
There she received expert training from Chloe Le Page and now Sam Gough.
The first CrossFit event Dolly-fæ attended was in Birmingham in February, when she participated in a WOdaptive competition.
She smashed her first 12.5 kg barbell deadlift.
Dolly-fæ said: "Most people don’t think disabled people can achieve much in life.
