I’m Maddie, and my journey in the CrossFit world started in a way I never expected. While I was attending the University of Maryland, I took on an admin role here at True Core, handling everything from scheduling to member communication. I honestly didn’t know much about CrossFit at the time, but being immersed in that environment day in and day out, I couldn’t help but get curious. The energy, the community, and the way people pushed themselves to be better every day were inspiring.
It wasn’t long before I decided to take my interest a step further. I did my first crossfit competition in the spring of 2022 then I got my CrossFit Level 1 Certification, and once I started coaching, I realized that this was more than just a job—it was a passion. Coaching allows me to combine my love for fitness with my desire to help others reach their full potential, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone grow stronger, both physically and mentally. What I love most about CrossFit is the sense of community. It's not just about lifting heavy weights or hitting a PR; it's about being part of something bigger than yourself. Whether I’m working with someone brand new to the gym or an experienced athlete, I focus on creating an environment where everyone feels supported, challenged, and empowered at any age or level.
I’m excited every day to help others realize what they’re capable of, and I feel lucky to be part of a community that encourages growth—both inside and outside of the gym.
