CrossFit Level 1 Trainer

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.
