CrossFit Level 1

Vivian started her CrossFit career at CrossFit Tucker in 2016.  She loved the challenge CrossFit provided and is very strong with Barbell movements.  Back in in 2020, she decided to obtain her CF Level 1 certificate and has been coaching ever since.  You can find Vivian coaching the 5:30 pm class daily.

Her favorite CrossFit movements are deadlifts, chipper workouts and of course her 5:30 people! Her least favorite is definitely running even though LeAnn convinced her to run a half marathon!

She is grateful for the people and the community she has found at CrossFit Tucker and the friends she made along the way.

Sports have always been a big part of my life, and once into adulthood, I realized I still craved that competitive atmosphere. I joined CrossFit Tucker in 2013, and I have loved CrossFit ever since. I recently decided to get my certification to be a coach, and I was able to do that through the online course. I currently coach the Foundations On-Ramp classes, and I am a graduate student at Georgia State University pursuing a Master’s Degree in Nutrition. Once I graduate in the fall, I hope to be able to combine my love of fitness and my love of food to encourage people to pursue a sustainable, healthful lifestyle.

Carey was introduced to CrossFit in 2013 after having her third child. While fitness was always an important part of her life, she still felt that she needed more of a challenge, that is until she discovered CrossFit. Participating in CrossFit only served to increase her love for health and fitness. The workouts never get boring; there is always a new challenge.

As an educator, one who has taught both Physical Education and coached gymnastics, it seemed a natural progression for Carey to acquire her Level 1 Certification in August 2013. Shortly after, she began coaching adults and then kids. In 2018, she received her Level 2 Certification. 

  This has allowed her to combine her passion for CrossFit with her love of coaching. It is exhilarating to watch athletes transform not only their bodies but also change their perceptions of what they think their bodies can do. Carey’s favorite movement is toes to bar, and her favorite workout is Glen.

CrossFit Specialty Course: Endurance

CEU: Spot the Flaw

I began my CrossFit journey in 2012, recognizing I needed more core strength to be a better runner. Through CrossFit, I was able to gain enough strength to complete several ultramarathons over the next several years, including The Great Southern Endurance Run, H9 50 miler, and dozens of 50ks. I completed and finished third place in the Men's team 80+ division in The TransRockies Run, a 6-day point-to-point trail running race covering 120 miles from Buena Vista to Beaver Creek, CO.  I also had this nutter idea to do a 100k row to raise money for Networks (located in Tucker). I completed the row in about 9 hours in one sitting.

My focus changed from endurance to strength, and I then shifted my training to less running and more gym time. I began coaching in 2017. Growing up as a High School Wrestling Coach’s son, coaching has always been in my blood. I recognized the need to advance my own knowledge and understanding that moving safely can be best achieved by having the deeper insight that only coaching brings to light.

I have three awesome children, a beautiful, loving wife of 19 years (who is also a CFL2), two dogs, and three cats.
