 I started my CrossFit journey in 2015. I had just recovered from a  stress fracture and my mom told me I should try it out because she had  heard there was a lot of gymnastics involved in CrossFit. After my first  day, I fell in love instantly. I was a competitive gymnast for 13 years  and then started running cross country and track when I retired from  gymnastics. I ran in high school and for Young Harris College, where I  got my B.S in Biology and Minor in Sport Studies. I am now at UGA for  graduate school to get my Masters in Kinesiology. I have been coaching  CrossFit for over two years now, and I have also coached recreational and  team gymnastics. I love  CrossFit for the challenge and variety it provides, including  gymnastics, lifting, and cardio. But what I love most is the community; I  love being part of a team and a family!

I  was first introduced to CrossFit in 2012 and have been in and out of it  ever since.

I  have a B.S. and M.A. from UGA and am a NASM and CF-L1 trainer. I have  been in the group fitness and personal training scene for over a decade.  I live here in Athens with my husband, Andrew, and our two kids (age 5  and 7).  I really enjoy helping athletes of all ages learn to lift and build  functional strength that translates into a better quality of life  overall.

 I came to Georgia Strength for the unparalleled coaching  and programming, and I am excited to be a part of cultivating the  community. I see what is being built here, and I want to be a part of  continuing to grow and develop it. CrossFit is for everyone!

Celeste has been an avid CrossFitter since 2015.  She grew up swimming competitively through high school, and once her career was over, stayed involved with the sport by teaching people of all ages and ability levels how to swim.  

Once she discovered CrossFit, she carried her passion for competing and teaching into the gym.

When she's not training or coaching, she enjoys spending time with her husband of 15 years and her two teenage daughters.  After seeing the impact that CrossFit had on her life, both physically and mentally, she was eager to share her experience and knowledge with others.
