What do you love about CrossFit and Fitness?

• I’ve struggled both mentally and emotionally trying to figure myself out throughout my life. I’ve always felt like an outcast trying to find a place to belong. For me and for many other people CrossFit  and Fitness does just that. You surround yourself with other highly motivated and welcoming people just trying to better themselves and it’s contagious! I know when I’m having a bad day I can look forward to getting to the box and doing the workout and it will chase away any negativity I’ve experienced throughout the day. It’s literally therapy that’s never boring. You join this community that’s just so uplifting and you see progress everyday. There’s nothing more satisfying than the feeling of being stronger than you were yesterday and having fun while doing it!

What do you love about being an Elite Core Fitness Coach?

• The vibes from the athletes that come through these doors are comparable to none. To be able to have an impact on lives and help people achieve their goals is absolute blessing. Seeing the changes that people make after coming to the gym and intentionally improving their life and lifestyle is nothing short of magical. Being able to be a part of that change is something I will always be grateful for. Everything about coaching lights a fire inside of me. I don’t just love to coach, I love to coach here at ECF and not just because of the athletes but because of the inspiration I get from my other fellow coaches who I look up to with the utmost respect and admiration. Ultimately if you are looking to improve yourself this is the place to be, and I am ecstatic to be apart of that.

 What makes your coaching style unique?

• When I approach coaching I try to remain mindful about what the client is feeling at the moment. I put myself in their shoes and ask myself, “how would I want to be coached in this situation.” Everyone is different and everyday is different so there are always multiple variables to consider. I take everything into account and not only do I educate and make sure they move well, but I also want them to leave feeling accomplished and having a better outlook on what’s to come. I am extremely passionate about fitness and I use coaching to share that passion with everyone I coach and try my best to make them feel what I feel and brighten their day in the process.
