Mia Doherty
Those who know Mia best would say that some of the most appealing aspects of her character include a powerhouse work ethic, her contagious spirit, and her ability to make fitness relatable and fun for people from all aspects of life. Despite discovering sports and fitness much later in life, her hard work and effort propelled her to learn and work tirelessly on becoming more comfortable with sport and movement. After college, she pursued a career with the Environmental Protection Agency which lasted 11 years. While she liked the job, she decided there was more to explore in life, and it was time to pursue her growing love of fitness; the catalyst of which was the discovery of CrossFit and the experience of the physical as well as the mental gains it awarded. She left her “normal” 9 to 5 job in 2013 to become a full time CrossFit coach. Over the past 10 years, she has discovered a love for teaching as well as fitness and has enjoyed sharing her growing knowledge of movement with all levels of athletes at a variety of ages and stages in their lives. Mia proudly holds her CrossFit Level 3 certification as well as two Gymnastics certifications and is always striving for virtuosity in movement for herself and her athletes. You are most likely to find her on the gymnastics mat, working on progressions to help athletes master everything handstand, pull up, and muscle up related. While her physical gains have grown, her emotional and spiritual gains have paralleled those physical gains. Her goal as a coach is to assist our athletes in using fitness to change more than just their physical health, to use their daily achievements inside of the gym to propel their dreams and goals outside of the gym enabling them to live longer, more fulfilling lives.
