About Coach

I started coaching group exercise classes (aerobics, Step, hip hop aerobics, yoga) as a high school student at a Gold’s Gym back in the mid-90’s. I loved fitness even as a teenager; I was the only one signed up and receiving a perfect grade for our high school’s weightlifting elective! Through college and graduate school, I competed in distance events (marathons, triathlon, Ironman). In my late-20’s, I met Ben just as he was getting into CrossFit and opening up his first affiliate. Now, almost 50 years old and 35 years after starting my “career” in fitness training (and, 4 kids later), I get to coach adults, teens, and elementary aged kids…including our 10 and 12 year old youngest children. My favorite days are looking around our gym and seeing the sheer diversity in the people that train here all at the same time, under the same roof, with the same like-minded approach to health. It’s just any old day when I look around the class I’m taking WITH our 25 year old daughter, 21 year old son, 12 year old son, 10 year old daughter, and Ben’s 80 year old father…and, Ben is coaching us all through the “same” workout. Being a part of this community gives me comfort in knowing that I will be surrounded by encouragement, knowledge, motivation, and friendship for the rest of my, and my family’s, life.
