Laurel started CrossFit in 2017 in Knoxville, Tennessee, while navigating the stress of grad school. What began as an outlet quickly became much more, giving her strength, endurance, energy, and a community she loved.

She began coaching in 2020 in Tampa, Florida, during COVID-19, wanting to help others find the same kind of outlet CrossFit had given her. Since joining the Unbreakable family in 2023, CrossFit has continued to be a huge part of her life.

As a CF-L2 coach, Laurel especially loves the technical side of Olympic lifting and gymnastics on the rig. In her classes, expect plenty of energy, the occasional mid-WOD dance break, and a coach who will absolutely hold you accountable for getting your mobility in before you leave.
