Meet The Team
Kara
CF-L1
I started CrossFit 9 years ago to see what it was all about. My first ever workout was Fight Gone Bad. After that, I was hooked. I loved the physical challenge, but I loved the mental challenge even more. I earned my CF-L1 in 2024 and I’ve been coaching Women’s Only Bootcamp classes since. I enjoy coaching new skills, technique, and most importantly, having a good attitude in the gym.
