Gina Petersen
CrossFit Coach, OnRamp Coach at Iron Hero CrossFit

My first CrossFit workout was in 2008. My dad and brother had joined a CrossFit gym and brought me to a community workout. Before CrossFit, I had been attending group fitness classes that used the same music, movements, and routines over and over again. While I enjoyed it, the lack of variety killed my motivation. I was drawn to CrossFit because of the variety of movements and workouts. I have been a teacher in some way since high school, so becoming a CrossFit coach seemed like the perfect next step for me. I got my CrossFit Level 3 certification in November 2024 and became a Certified CrossFit Trainer.
