Althea

Althea grew up in the Deer Park area where she played soccer and ran cross country.  She had a misfortunate accident snow skiin where she injuring her knee and was unable to play sports the rest of her high school days.  The positive spin to this was that during rehabilitation she found the love of sports medicine and was able to learn in high school.  Althea found that she was passionate about helping others. As time went on and she could start running again, she needed to start strengthening her muscles after she recovered from yet another knee surgery.   Her son wanted to start CrossFit in 2017 and she became intrigued with this new sport CrossFit that was introduced to her. She started CrossFit at the end of 2017. Althea fell in love with CrossFit immediately.  She used CrossFit to build muscle and competed in a Fitness Competition in 2019.

Althea uses CrossFit at times to escape and realized that she wanted to better myself with the movements and methodology of CrossFit.  Althea could feel the passion she had for this sport, so she decided to take that jump and became a CrossFit Coach in 2021

‍

She absolutely loves the community CrossFit brings.  Althea wants to be the coach that sees the excitement on others faces when they learn a movement or get a new personal record. She is the happiest though when a new member overcomes the fear of the unknown in CrossFit and realizes that they are capable of hard things.  She wants to celebrate every high and low with them in and outside the box.   What she would like the members to know is we all started out just like them.  We took that first step.
