Jen is the Endurance coach at CrossFit Sixth City and a coach for some of our morning CrossFit classes. You can find her at Endurance classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30pm and Sundays at 12:00pm. Coaching has allowed her to tap into her love of teaching. She previously taught for 12 years and has been able to pass on her second love, running, to the athletes at CSC. 

Jen coaches because teaching people has been and will always be a passion of hers. She says there is no better feeling than knowing you’ve helped someone learn or achieve something. But also because she really enjoys yelling at people!

Jen has a B.A. in writing from Cleveland State University and a M.A. in education from Ashland University. She has been a CrossFit and Endurance coach for 8 months, and previously a high school track coach for 2 years.

When she was a kid Coach Jen ran track and played basketball, but was a self-described drama/band nerd who wanted to be a Broadway star or band nerd when she grew up. Fortunately for us, she also became a very good endurance coach! She has been running for 17 years and has been doing CrossFit for 2 years since previously competing as a triathlete for 8 years. 

Recently, Jen’s fitness has allowed her to fulfill her love for the outdoors by affording her the strength to carry a pack on long hikes through many of the beautiful national parks in the United States.

CSC Sweatiest Angel - June 2016

Congratulations to Lizabeth Lukesic on winning CSC's Sweatiest Angel award for the month of June! The Sweatiest Angel award is given each month to a CSC member who displays significant work ethic, a willingness to support others and a true sense of camaraderie inside the gym.  Not only is Liz always smiling and showing a positive attitude but she has also made some done some tremendous work lately - posting faster times in WODs, using heavier weight than she ever has and improving greatly at many skills. Just as she says, you get out of it what you put in, and Liz works her ass off. How long have you been doing CrossFit? I started doing CrossFit-like workouts four years ago and joined CSC in July of 2014. What do you do when you are not at CSC? When I am not at CSC I enjoy spending time outdoors with my posse or experimenting in the kitchen. When did you realize CrossFit was for you? When I realized the amount of physical and mental strength required. Everyd...

Congratulations to Dustin Lato on winning CSC's Sweatiest Angel award for the month of July! The Sweatiest Angel award is given each month to a CSC member who displays significant work ethic, a willingness to support others and a true sense of camaraderie inside the gym.     Dustin is a constant supporter of other members as well as an exceptionally hard worker. At one point Dustin had a streak of 3 months with at least 6 PRs! Congratulations Dustin!   How long have you been doing CrossFit? Started in January 2016 so about 7 months. Tried a free class at a different gym a few years ago, but wasn’t my cup of tea.   What do you do when you are not at CSC (hobbies, occupation, etc)? I work a lot. I’ve got my own software business and part owner of 4 other ventures (apparel, sport software, vaporizer, and startup non-profit), freelance graphic/web designer on the side. I love what I do so it’s not really work for me. I also mountain bike a ...
