💙 Welcoming Our New Coach: Lauren!
We are ecstatic to have this woman join our coaching staff. Lauren is extremely hardworking in and outside of the gym, passionate about health and wellness, and loves spreading her love of CrossFit.
Here is a little about her!
Hi! I’m Lauren, one of the coaches at CrossFit SPT. I started CrossFit in 2017 while I lived in Hong Kong before moving to Texas in 2021. Prior to moving to Hong Kong in 2011, I was a pediatrician in Southern California and have a huge passion for wellness and fitness in both adults and children. While in Hong Kong, I also trained extensively in conscious and guidance parenting and currently work as a parenting coach. I have four incredible children…twins, Jack and Luke, Sean, and Kate.
I never excelled in athletics or had a passion for any sports when I was growing up. I began running recreationally in my early 20s, completing a couple of marathons and half-marathons. While in Hong Kong, I also trained in Muay Thai for a couple of years. However, once I finally discovered CrossFit at 40 years old, I was completely hooked!! For someone who never felt confident with anything athletic, CrossFit has given me the opportunity to discover physical and mental capabilities I never thought I had, and I could be pushed beyond anything I imagined. I love challenging myself to hit goals each year, and I am so grateful for the support and encouragement of the CrossFit community.
I obtained both my CrossFit Level 1 Certificate and my CrossFit Kids Certificate in 2021 and began coaching soon after. I absolutely love coaching and am excited to help people at CrossFit SPT achieve their fitness and wellness goals. I am also looking forward to bringing CrossFit to both kids and teens.
