Meet Michelle! She's a wife, mother of 1, Army Veteran and former gymnast turned competitive CrossFit athlete. She joined CrossFit in 2017, having never touched a barbell before and not knowing what to expect. After her first class, where she learned to deadlift for the first time, she was hooked and started coming to class 5x a week!! CrossFit helped her fall in love with fitness and learn to love herself more too.

Through pregnancy/childbirth, COVID, major injury and weight fluctuations, Michelle can confidently say that CrossFit has changed her life and she wouldn't be who she is without it. Now, 7 years later, she has 6 years of coaching under her belt, with most of that being intro classes or 1:1 personal training for brand new athletes.

She currently coaches the Onboarding CrossFit class at TGP Tues/Thurs evenings at 6pm, where we focus on form and building confidence in preparation for joining the rest of the classes. She is also available for 1:1 coaching, for brand new athletes getting started as well as for our veterans who have specific goals they want to meet and anyone in between.

Michelle is also an experienced gymnast who is always ready (and excited) to teach people handstands, so don't hesitate to ask!

Michelle says "I hope to see you at the gym soon! But never earlier than 8:30 for me, I'm NOT an early morning person."
