“I never let the old man in.” – Clint Eastwood.

Owner CrossFit Lowell since 2018
CrossFit Level 1 Trainer
CrossFit Enthusiast since 2010

I have been an integral part of CrossFit Lowell since its inception in 2012. When the opportunity to buy it was presented, I knew I had to keep this amazing community of misfit toys going. CrossFit changed the path of my life and my health in 2010. I wouldn’t change a minute of the journey since then.

In my life outside of CrossFit, I own and operate an industrial machinery company, eat way too many expensive meals, and read far too much sci-fi.

In my life outside of CrossFit : I am a Substance Abuse Counselor, active member of the Lowell recovery community, and lover of dogs and food.

Interesting fact : My dog’s name is Donut.

I found CrossFit in 2017 through The Phoenix which provides free classes for people with 48 hours of recovery. I immediately fell in love with the community atmosphere and pushing my body to do what I thought was impossible. Physical activity has always been a huge outlet for me and I strongly believe in its power to change people’s lives physically, mentally, and emotionally. I earned my CrossFit Level One Certificate in July of 2019 and have been chasing the knowledge and experience to help others change their lives as well. This journey has landed me at CFL where I have found a tribe of diverse and accepting individuals who welcomed me with open arms even though the first WOD I had the pleasure of coaching was 100+ burpees!”

Bio
Christina has 10 years of experience as a CrossFit athlete. She first trained at CrossFit Fenway and then CrossFit Lando before coming to CrossFit Lowell. As a result of her positive experiences, she has incorporated CrossFit into other aspects of her life. She believes in the importance of healthy eating to accompany one’s fitness and incorporated paleo-based and clean-eating meals into her menu at the Connector Cafe & Grill in Lowell. In fact, CrossFit workouts have influenced the naming of some of the paleo meals on the menu. She enjoys offering a place for people to come after their workouts, to eat healthy foods, and connect with others around health and wellness. In addition to her café, Christina is an applied psychologist, having recently earned her PhD in applied psychology and prevention science, with a focus in health behaviors. Her dissertation research specifically examined CrossFit athletes’ experiences with CrossFit and the community within their gyms. She is excited to share what she learned to help individuals with their experiences within their fitness communities. She is especially interested in working with adults over the age of 40. Christina recently pursued her Level-1 CrossFit training to add another tool to her health and wellness toolbox. She is excited to join CrossFit Lowell to coach current athletes and to help further build community with insight from her research.
