Registered Nurse
BSN CFL-2
Hi! My name is Nathalie and I'm a Registered Nurse, turned Mother, finally a CrossFit Gym Owner. I always knew I wanted to help people in some type of way. After becoming a nurse in 2009, I went into Pediatric Oncology. After a few years, we had kids and I wanted to stay home to raise them. I started CrossFit when our second child was 6 months old. I wanted and needed an outlet and I was looking to lose some of that dreaded “baby weight”. I absolutely fell in love with CrossFit. I learned I had more strength than I ever thought I could have. I loved how I felt after finishing a workout. I eventually decided I was going to take my L1. That course gave me so much knowledge and made me fall in love even more with CrossFit. The United States is plagued with chronic diseases and CrossFit was and is on a mission to crush them. How could I not be on board with that? Like everyone else, 2020 happened and our worlds were flipped upside down. Challenge after challenge was in front of us and I was numb. I looked at my husband and I said “Find the money to open another gym”. Because why not? haha. LYFE was born in the driveway of our little Hollywood home and has flourished into the wonderful home it is today. I recently gained my CrossFit L2. I'm always looking into ways to gain knowledge so that I can share it with our members. My passion to help others has never changed but the way that I now share that passion is very different. I'm on the different side of things. I get to reach people before they get sick enough to be hospitalized. I get to teach CrossFit’s mission and put it into action. I love that our kids are being raised in an environment that prioritizes health and fitness. To them, the gym is a part of their everyday life and they love it.
