About Carmen

My name is carmen. I'm 36 years old . What I have learned along life's journey is that life is SHORT !!! We have to grab it and live it and spread happiness anywhere we can. Knowing/ living this way has morphed me into the coach I am today . I am able to completely disconnect from the world & immerse myself into people and their fitness goals and dreams . I also like to receive/deal with challenging task because I'm fueled by a passion for understanding people because of this passion my strong point is when I meet people I feel extremely comfortable with them and they with I as well .

Turning Point

My turning point was long overdue .....I struggled with my own internal doubt for years !! I was addicted (in a good way ) to crossfit for years before i ever had the courage to step foot in one . One night as I did a load of laundry I called my son to lift the basket (no more than 4 pounds) to carry it to the couch for me where I proceeded to watch my crossfit and fold clothes . I was watching a xfit athlete talk about her life and it sounded just like mine long story short I looked at my husband and he was like what's stopping you ...next day I conquered my internal doubt and own demons ..scared to death I walked into crossfit 1108. I literally went from couch 2 crossfit the rest is all history, that I would love to share with you in person any time ! Fast forward a few years later and here comes internal doubt making its wonderful debut again . Can I be a coach I'm still on my own fitness journey ? Am I suppose to be a certain size ? Could I pass the tests? Will people give me a chance ? Ughhh maybe yall can relate with those doubts but one thing I knew was I'm very competitive . I have never heard of a competition I wasnt elated to be involved in but I had NEVER had a dream of being a professional athlete but I have had millions of dreams of being a coach helping even just that one person . Having someone say because of my coach carmen I didnt quit, because she truely cared about my journey I BELIEVE I can reach my fitness goals etc. ... With that dream and my amazing coach who has always believed in me (chris) I decided to go for it and here we are now !!! I would love to help you conquer your own enemies/doubts . Let's talk in person friends!!!

Motivation & Passion

I am very enthusiastic about coaching ! My hunger for knowledge and my determination to turn the information I have learned into actions will and has contributed to my success as a coach . I'm very honest I do NOT know it all I consider myself a forever student . I will not stop learning so that I can be the best coach for YOU !!! My motivation is to bring FITNESS to every man ,woman & child !!!
-we gain strength, courage,and confidence by every experience we really stop and look fear/doubt in the face - The first step is the hardest I promise, come see me today let's do this together !!
