Coaches & Staff
We could go and write stellar bios with persuasive language about Nicole Christensen, Zac Pine, Ryan Landis, Shane Upchurch, Ali Minton, Tracie Holcomb, Blaine Guenther, Walker Savidge, Lauren Rubini, and Eric Christensen – the coaches at CrossFit Roots. It would list their certifications (they have a variety), their athletic and outdoor accomplishments and experiences (they have a lot), and their knowledge of the CrossFit training method and movements (they have a ton). We could go a step further and throw out a lot of buzz phrases to entice you to come in, such as, “the coaches are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals” or “she is committed to getting you in the best shape of you life.”
But we’re not going to do that because we’d rather show you. Come in and decide for yourself.
