I love coaching CrossFit because there is nothing like seeing a member accomplish a new skill or lift a new person best after putting in the work. I love seeing the different types of life (moms, dads, grandparents, students and kids) come into the gym and commit one hour to themselves in a way that will better their lives. I also love seeing the community that is built within the CrossFit community.
