CrossFit Oakland

I am humbled and grateful every day to be a part of a community that supports, encourages, teaches and affects change. My goal is to continue to spread the word about fitness, nutrition and lifestyle to as much of the population as humanly possible, while empowering myself and my clients to pursue any dream, even the ones that seem impossible.

I found CrossFit in 2005 and never looked back. I am currently a co-owner of CrossFit Oakland and Endgame Athletic and have been coaching since 2009. My greatest joy is watching my clients, friends and family succeed where they never imagined they could.

I was always athletic growing up and had a love for sports and fitness. My path led me to cooking professionally in fine dining restaurants throughout San Francisco for 10 years. I went through my own health journey pre-pandemic, but it wasn't until the pandemic that I had a wake-up call and decided to change careers and find something that not only supported my overall health, but was also sustainable for longevity.

I strive to be a role model and inspire my clients to learn the fundamentals of nutrition and fitness and enjoy the benefits that come with the CrossFit lifestyle. At CrossFit Oakland, I bring my passion for food, nutrition and fitness together as I continue to grow my expertise and strive for excellence as a coach by teaching and connecting with the community.

Not an athlete growing up, Britt discovered CrossFit in 2009 and found her fitness calling. Enjoying the opportunity of freedom to move, Britt used CrossFit as a means to find friends and build community. After over a decade of being a participant, Britt pursued her L1 and 5 years later got her L2. With this training Britt was able to use her personal experiences, tips and tricks from many great coaches and continuing desire for further education, to be the best coach she can be.

A love of cooking, donuts, CrossFit, and her own experience with how the food and fitness work together sent Britt to also pursue a certification in nutrition coaching. She is excited to help clients be the best they can, be inside and out, while still being able to enjoy their favorite donut.

As a Physical Education teacher, I look to bring intensity and enjoyment to my students, and I want the same for my adult clients. I love seeing my clients push themselves to meet or exceed their expectations for each class. If you walk away from each class with some new technical knowledge, a new strategic approach to a workout, or a new mental perspective, I feel I've succeeded.
