Outside of CrossFit, she enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with her family.

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.
