I've been an athlete my entire life, and played team sports through college (soccer and lacrosse). After graduating, I found that I was missing an outlet for my athletic endeavors, and truly missed the team environment. After training for and completing one (and ONLY one) marathon, I decided to switch gears and tried my first CrossFit class. It didn't take long until I was hooked. Not only did CrossFit training provide me with new goals to work toward, but it also came with a community of fire-breathers who wanted to see me succeed as mush as I did! CrossFit provided the "team" atmosphere I was looking for, and then some! I believe fitness should be fun, and I've never had as much fun suffering as I do when I'm in the gym with my friends!

I love seeing people set and achieve goals, both big and small! Whether it be showing up to class every Monday, or acquiring a new skill, or lifting a lifetime PR - I want to be there helping and cheering every step of the way!
