Meet the amazing Kainos Functional Fitness team!

I am a proud owner and coach at Kainos with my husband, Jordan. We have a beautiful daughter, Catherine, together. Fitness has always been a part of my life; as a marine I attained my Crossfit Level 1 certificate. I have built on my passion for health & fitness throughout life. I have a degree in kinesiology,  and am a licensed massage therapist and my own massage therapy practice, Corrective Touch Wellness and Recovery. My passion has been further fueled by becoming a mom. I want my daughter and anyone that comes to Kainos to learn that taking care of our bodies physically, mentally and spiritually is a normal and healthy lifestyle, not the exception. Jordan and I followed our  dreams when we opened Kainos. We had a vision to create a place where people from all backgrounds and fitness experiences can join a community committed to improving their health and quality of life. I am proud and blessed that since September of 2021 we have had the joy of watching our dreams come to fruition!

I am a Level 2 CrossFit coach, a certified Level 1 Olympic Lifting Coach through USAW and am working on my Sports Nutrition Certification. I have been involved in sports most of my life. I played every sport that was available to me however, football was my passion. I was awarded a scholarship to Harding University where I played outside linebacker. After football I focused on work and didn’t take care of my physical body. I let my body go gaining a lot of weight and ended up being a very unhealthy 320lbs. I tried different exercises to gain control of my health but I could never stay consistent. I found CrossFit in 2011 and after a lot of apprehension and encouragement from a friend I tried my first class. I was hooked!! I finally found something that not only connected me to health and fitness but also a community of people that were the life support I needed to continue. In 2016 I had the opportunity to get my Level 1 certification and begin coaching classes. This passion to help others has continued and dreams of owning my own gym began. With the help and support of my amazing wife, Hallie Crawford, we started Kainos Community CrossFit in 2021. I am now the head coach of my own gym and getting to be a part of others’ health and fitness journey has been so rewarding and truly a dream come true.

I am currently a Pilates and fitness coach at Kainos. I have always been active through my career in the Army, then by practicing MMA, specifically Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Kickboxing. My career in fitness began as a personal trainer over 7 years ago. I then pursued Pilates & powerlifting and truly fell in love with the strength, stamina, and flexibility that Pilates practice can provide. I have enjoyed coaching the different styles of fitness. Pilates, CrossFit and personal training can provide anyone with fitness, strength and health. As I am expecting my first child, my commitment and passion for health & wellness is only growing. I am excited for the future of Kainos, our coaches and clients.

I am a mom of two who’s fitness journey started later in life. I have always been active though my passion, learning and growth in fitness and health has come to the forefront more recently. My interest in biology & science began young, and I earned an associate’s degree in science and a bachelor’s in biomedical science. In 2018, when my first son was 6 months old, I joined a crossfit gym, and I began to look at exercise and health in a totally new way. This launched my gradual career change into the fitness world. During this time I also had first hand experience with my dad’s physical decline due to a battle with cancer. I could see how movement, at any level, affected his mental and physical reality. Since this time, I have earned a Crossfit Level 1 certificate, Crossfit Kids certificate and am a certified Nutrition Coach and Personal Trainer. My passion is to help others find their own new perspective, knowledge and passion for health and fitness. I believe it is never too late to realize the magic of movement; to become healthier. I am blessed to get this opportunity at Kainos and cannot wait to encourage others’ journeys.

I am one of the Pilates instructors here at Kainos. I moved from Illinois to Pilot Point 7 years ago to work in the horse industry, but as my life involved I closed that door and now am in sales for medical devices. I’m certified in mat Pilates and will be working towards getting my reformer certification. I’m grateful to have been given this opportunity, as I’ve always tried to find ways to share my passion for movement within the community. I’ve been in the fitness space for 6 years, mainly around weight training, but I enjoy incorporating many forms of movement such as Pilates, dance classes, high energy workout classes, and jump roping. I grew up in Hawaii where my siblings and I were on multiple jump roping teams. I’m a firm believer in finding movements that work with your lifestyle, but also bring you joy while doing them! Between aging and seeing patients in surgery, I realize just how important it is to practice a healthy lifestyle as early as possible to reap the benefits later on in life. In my classes, and at Kainos, you can always be promised a group of supportive, friendly coaches that meet you where you’re at and truly want to help you achieve overall wellness. I’m excited to grow my experience here alongside our growing Pilates program!
