I have been in the CrossFit community since 2018 and started coaching in 2024. I joined to build strength for running and rugby, I stayed to keep getting stronger with all my new friends! I love helping people be more active and build strength to do what they love, whether that’s playing soccer, keeping up with grandkids, or setting new PRs in the gym. Outside the gym I can usually be found on a trail either running or on my bike. If I’m not there I’m playing rugby up in Bellingham!

Being involved with sports at a young age made me appreciate the value that fitness has in our lives. Working on a farm and keeping up with two littles, continues to remind me everyday how important taking care of myself is. My love for movement will never change. YOU are the only one who can convince yourself you are capable of hard things. Watching people accomplish things they never thought they could do, seeing them break through barriers they never thought they could conquer – mentally, physically, and emotionally – and providing them with tools to make their lives better as a CF coach, is the best opportunity in the world! If someone takes the time to walk into the gym, I want to do whatever I can to make sure they walk away having the best hour of their day!

Heather has a love for movement and people. She enjoys encouraging others to reach new goals, grow stronger, and work through weaknesses. Heather is a wife and mother of three boys that she homeschooled for six years. She distinctly remembers the first day she walked into a CrossFit gym as a new mom. That day taught her that being fit wasn’t just a state of being but a lifelong state of doing. She takes this mindset with her as she coaches the Mallard community. After a challenging workout you’ll often hear her say, “that was fun!”
“Everyday we choose what to foundation to build our lives upon. CrossFit is similar in that it teaches the fundamentals of functional fitness and we choose how to build upon that based on our strengths while improving our weaknesses. Whether someone is a seasoned, new, returning, or an elder athlete, everyone who puts in their best effort is an inspiration!
