Lauren Ollila
Coach, Teen Programming
I’ve been doing CrossFit for almost 10 years now. CrossFit gave me the strength, community, and joy that I was searching for after years of grinding away as an endurance runner. This is why I switched from teaching 3rd grade to coaching and owning a CrossFit gym. I love helping people discover the health and happiness that comes from fitness. Once our business was forced to closed down due to lack of funds, I decided to become a firefighter and use my fitness to assist my community in a new way. I still get my coaching fix by working with the amazing youth that our local FYR: Mindset Reps has the opportunity to serve.
