Nobody cares about your fitness as much as we do

Lindsay is a CFL3, wife, mom of two very active boys, and a former competitive swimmer. After leaving competitive swimming, she never felt at home in any gym or yoga studio. She stepped in to CFHR after missing the daily hard work that comes with training for sports. Immediately, she found a home where it was safe to leave her ego behind, try, fail and do it all over again. She got her CF-L1 in 2018, and passed her CF-L2 in 2019 and her CF-L3 in 2023. Her passion became creating a safe place for people to become more fit, trying new things, and be part of a community where everyone is accepted. Lindsay believes there is an athlete in all of us. Adding agility, strength, and coordination in your daily life will not only get you in shape, but, by doing it, it will change every aspect of your life. Lindsay’s goal is to help her fellow athletes feel fearless, meet their goals and push their limits. She also loves the beach, cats, oatmeal cream pies, and nature documentaries.

Ray started CrossFit, Sept 2017. She started because it was the only “fitness class” offered near her house. She loves seeing herself and others grow stronger and master new skills.

Michelle first discovered CrossFit in 2012 when she read the Whole30 book, but it wasn’t until 2017 when she moved to Monterey that she was able to try it for herself. Lucky enough to have an amazing coach, Michelle quickly fell in love with CrossFit, earning her CF-L1 in 2018 and jumping into local competitions, including starting a mixed pair competition called Battle Buddy with her friend. She briefly left CrossFit and then decided to join CFHR because she missed the community aspect. Michelle earned her CF-L2 in 2023.
