Karen currently lives in Flower Mound after moving here with her husband, Shane, and children (Jarrett, Hallie, and Peyton) from New Jersey in 2015.  She joined CrossFit Flower Mound one week after arriving in Texas and immediately felt like part of the community. Karen spends her days (and often nights) taking care of her three active children in high school, middle, and elementary school as well as taking care of her mother who lives locally.   Karen’s life-long love for exercise drew her to try CrossFit on her 40th birthday.  After years of running, endless aerobics/step classes, kickboxing,  boot camp, and Pilates, she finally found the sport of fitness that satisfied her competitive drive and desire for continuous results.  While her education and professional experience was in business, Karen joined the staff in 2018 as an instructor and obtained her CF Level 1 to help motivate and work with others. Karen has competed in several local competitions in NJ and Texas, the CrossFit Open, and most recently qualified for the master’s online regional competition in the 2018 CrossFit Open. Outside of CrossFit, she enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with her family.

Amanda lives in Northlake with her husband, Art, daughter Romie (2016) and son Joaquin (2017). Amanda completed her degree in health and physical education with an endorsement in special education. She taught self contained special education in LISD for 5 years before becoming a stay at home momma. Amanda found CrossFit Flower Mound in 2012 to help supplement her summer workout for her college soccer team. Amanda fell in love with CrossFit because of the constant variation in the workouts and the weightlifting. Amanda joined the staff in 2018 and obtained her Brand X Method kids certification to coach the kids and teens classes. Outside of CrossFit, Amanda enjoys spending time with her family, watching trashy TV shows after her kids to go bed (lol) and going on lunch dates with her dad.

Christi and her husband, Rick, have 2 girls, Delanie (14) and Preslie (12) and live in Denton. She works for a cardiology group managing the operations for their Cardiac Cath Lab in Sulphur Springs and as a purchasing agent for their 12 offices around North Texas.

When not at CrossFit she stays busy taxiing her girls to Cross Country, swimming, and volleyball. Her family enjoys attending sporting events of all kinds and spending time with friends. Her dog Oliver keeps her company when her teen and tween are too busy for her.

Christi has been a member of CrossFit Flower Mound for over 7 years. She joined with a friend looking for an exercise program that would help her stay fit and active in her forties. She has attended classes consistently for those 7 years and realized that helping others get through a tough workout keeps her coming back. She always points to the community as the best part of the past 7 years.

Lindsey lives in Highland Village with her husband Michael (whom she met here at CFFM!), her 5 kids, Ryon, Mylee, Jude, and twins Rowan and Quynn and two pets: the cutest Persian cat named Luna and a golden retriever named Georgia. After dancing all throughout high school and college she found CrossFit in 2012 and really enjoyed learning new skills and being able to compete as an athlete again! She joined CFFM when she moved here in August of 2020 and fell in love with the community. She then decided to pursue her L1 and become a coach. When she’s not coaching or training she can be found selling houses as a realtor, toting kids to various sports and activities, finding a new coffee shop, baking random desserts and listening to music. She and her family are members at The Village Church.

Gigi was raised in Brazil, and moved to the US in 2002. She met her husband, Andrew, in high school, and they were married after college in 2016. She has been office manager at Community Chiropractic since early 2017, and has been coaching nutrition since December of 2019.

In 2017, she was introduced to CrossFit and immediately fell in love with it. The more she learned about CrossFit’s ideals and methods, the more passionate she became. Her hope, as a coach, is that every athlete she works with is able to find the best version of themselves through their athleticism, and that it carries over into other areas of their lives. Outside of CrossFit, Gigi enjoys spending time with her husband, and her mom and sister. Her favorite activities are traveling, reading, and camping (yes, in a tent).

Lindsey and Dave live in Argyle with their kids, Dawson (2014) and Graham (2016) and Kennedy (2018). Lindsey completed a degree in Elementary Education in 2010. She found CrossFit in 2008 when Dave (boyfriend at the time) introduced her. Prior to CrossFit she ran, participated in a bootcamp and did a few machines at a local gym. She fell in love with CrossFit because it offered variety, so results were continuous. She decided to become a CrossFit coach in 2010 when she realized that her passion for fitness was bigger than teaching in a classroom. Her passion for kids has transformed into running the kids program as well as helping with the female sports training. Lindsey has competed in the CrossFit Games in 2010 as part of a team, finishing 30th and loves doing local team competitions with girls from the gym. Outside CrossFit, Lindsey enjoys loving on her Ori Pei pup, Libby. She and Dave are also home group leaders at The Village Church. Lindsey also enjoys crafting and finding new projects for sewing and decorating the house.

James lives west of town in Lantana with his wife April and two sons Jameson and Mason. Day job is being a Civil Construction Contractor but on Wednesdays and Fridays and 11 James plays really good music and coaches CrossFit.

James started training at CrossFit Flower Mound in December of 2013, became a coaching intern in the fall of 2017, got Level 1 certified and became a coach for CFFM in the spring of 2018.

James feels lucky to be able to coach and to give back to the community that has been so kind and accepting of him over the years.

When not at work or the gym, James is chasing his kids around town, taking his family camping, traveling with his wife or stumbling into some sort of adventure.

Also of note, James did not get to participate in many sports growing up.  He was overweight most of his life.  Then in 2013 he lost over 100 pounds, found CrossFit and has never looked back. CrossFit keeps him fit, makes him stronger and allows him to do things everyday that he only dreamed about doing as a kid.

Lucia lives in Flower Mound with her husband, Michael, and their daughter, Sasha (13). She works at Sally Beauty as an Inventory Planner. Her most favorite hobby is CrossFit. The gym is her happy place and she loves connecting with other people. Lucia also enjoys biking, hiking, camping and reading. Before starting CrossFit she did bootcamps, but didn’t feel challenged. So, she decided to give CrossFit a try, where she found out how much she loves the barbell!

One of the reasons Lucia wanted to become a coach is because she loves watching and helping people achieve something for the first time...getting their first pull-up, toes to bar or a muscle-up is huge. She will be the loudest cheerleader because she knows how much it means when an athlete achieves something they have worked for a long time to get. She would like to pass her passion on to our athletes and become better together.
