Many moons ago, during the hot hot summer of 2012, Christine “Chris” got talked into doing her very first CrossFit workout.  That particular weekend was Memorial Day weekend, and yup, you guessed it, it was MURPH.   Needless to say, she did not get through it (not even through the squats).  But something about it had her wanting to go back and try some more!

Coming from a zero sports background, Chris somehow found these classes really appealing, and since then…she has never looked back.  In 2015, Chris received her Level 1 and coached in Monterey California for 3 years but unfortunately had to take a break for various work moves.   After moving back to the US (from many years abroad), she has now settled in Alexandria for the time being.

When not working out or coaching, Chris stays active by dog walking, playing with her own rescued Vietnamese pup Ms. Bailey, and enjoying time with friends and family.
