“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

Crystal is a Cardio Junkie. It all started freshman year of high school, after getting cut from basketball tryouts she reluctantly joined the winter track team. Only to find out that she loved to run and even though it wasn’t a traditional sports “team”, it was all about competing individually while still being part of a community. She then continued on to do winter & spring track throughout all 4 years of high school. After high school, she starting running races from 5k’s to her first full marathon in Boston in 2010. She started getting into group fitness classes so she could train indoors on those freezing cold winter days, and also to get the community aspect she loved about team sports and running races. When she first tried spinning in 2007 she was quickly hooked, so much that she decided to get certified to teach. She completed her spinning certification in 2010 and has been teaching classes for 7 years at various gyms in the south shore and at Reebok HQ.

Crystal embraced CrossFit in 2013 when she started working at Reebok HQ. She was excited but nervous because she knew most of the movements were outside her cardio comfort zone and those crazy “WOD’s” looked like torture, but she knew it was something she needed to get stronger and to keep herself challenged. She’s now a consistent CrossFitter and even completed her L1 certification to enhance her knowledge of CrossFit, but also as an opportunity to expand her fitness/instructor credentials.

Crystal brings her passion for cardio, strength intervals, and music to her spin and rowhouse classes here at Reebok Drydock. A mix of sprint & resistance interval drills, combined with a kickass playlist from dance to rock with a few throwbacks sprinkled in, will keep you motivated and has something for everyone! She also likes to push her classes past their limits by mixing up RPM and Wattage drills to keep you accountable and beating your personal best.
