Registered Dietician Nutritionist (RDN)

Sports have always been a big part of my life, both as a fan and as an athlete. Once into adulthood, I realized I still craved a competitive atmosphere, and I found that in CrossFit. I joined CrossFit Tucker in 2013, and I have loved CrossFit ever since. I got my certification to be a coach in April 2022 through the online course, and I am also a certified CrossFit Kids coach. I am very much a morning person, so you will usually find me at the gym in the mornings or noon classes. I am also a Registered Dietitian with a Masters Degree in Health Sciences and a focus in research and community nutrition. I love food, and I hope to encourage our members to pursue a sustainable, fulfilling lifestyle.

USAW Level 1

Functional Strength Coach

My fitness journey began at around five years old when I played T-ball at Redan Park and continued at Rock Chapel and Central Dekalb Parks. I was passionate about the sport and even made the travel team by the end of the season to face tougher competition. I also tried soccer and football, but I eventually lost interest in baseball and shifted my focus to basketball. I made the junior varsity teams in middle school and high school and later transferred to Lakeside High School, where I played on the varsity team before graduating.

I completed my studies at Southern University from 2012 to 2015. My fitness journey truly took off when I joined my first functional fitness gym. Since then, I've participated in local competitions, both as part of a team and individually. I hold a CrossFit Level 1 certification and a Level 1 USAW certification, and I've attended various CrossFit seminars and courses, including the CrossFit Gymnastics Course. My first experience as a CrossFit coach was in 2018, and in November 2021, I found my home at CrossFit Tucker.

Health & PE Certified

Certified Special Olympics Coach

Adapted PE Teacher

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.
