USAW Level 1
Mom, Wife, Advertising Manager. I eat nails for breakfast. I'm a mega dork. Lady Sif is my idol. Poop is my favorite subject.
My favorite thing about CrossFit is that we lift each other up. I'm not the strongest and I'm not the best but I'll get down in the dirt with you and we'll climb out of it together.

Eric Ammon
CrossFit Level 2 Trainer
USAW Level 1
I started CrossFit in 2013 while deployed and haven’t looked back. This started off as a way to keep up with my kids and young Marines, now it is a part of my life. Over the years I have discovered that I love helping people on their fitness journey just as much as working on my own. Also, I have found myself specializing in the Olympic weightlifting part of CrossFit and have been able to compete on the National and International level of Masters Weightlifting. I look forward to helping you be a little better than you were yesterday. See you at the whiteboard!
