MA Administration
I grew up being very active in youth sports such as basketball and soccer. I played NCAA Division I Soccer at University of Hartford and eventually in a Semi-Professional Women's Soccer League in Colorado.
I taught Special Education for eight years at the Middle School level, coached elite competitive soccer teams as well as JV and Varsity Girls Soccer. At one point I created and ran a Youth Soccer Academy as well.
I didn't find CrossFit until I was 40 years old and a mother of a 10 year old special needs boy. CrossFit soon became a great outlet for me both mentally and physically. It has allowed me to gain physical strength in order to lift and carry my son who is immobile.
I quickly got my CrossFit Coaching certificates to coach adults and youth. I absolutely love to help and serve others!!! CrossFit has had such a positive impact on my life and I love that I can pass it on to others!

MS Speech-Language Pathology
MS, CCC-SLP
I grew up playing any sport I could get my hands on and making any and everything else into a sport. I joined my first CrossFit box the year after I graduated High School and have never looked back! Over the past 7 years, I've taught group fitness classes and yoga; coached boys and girls middle school basketball; and remained an active participant in CrossFit, running, and recreational sports leagues.
My career as a speach-language pathologist has coupled with my lifelong love for fitness to shape me into the coach, trainer, and leader I am today. Health and sucess for everyone is my primary goal. I believe that scaling movements to an athletel's current needs is critical to ensuring safety and success while fostering an environment that promotes self-confidence and self-actualization.

BS- Kinesiology
I have always been in a gym, gymnastics that is! I was a competitive gymnast from age of 5 through my high school years. This led me to an athletic scholarship in college at Texas Woman’s University. During college, I fell in love with coaching youth gymnastics. I have been coaching gymnastics for over 20 years.
It took a lot of convincing, but in 2014 I stepped into my first ‘BOX’ and I was hooked! Having a gymnastics background has always helped me pick up skills quickly. It routinely reminds me of the team comradery I had throughout life. My calling is to share my love for fitness and help others meet their personal and fitness goals.

Pain-Free Performance Specialist Certification
Hi there, I'm Krissy Houck - a wife, mother of three, CrossFit coach, and lifelong Alaskan. Growing up in Anchorage, I played softball and basketball, developing a competitive side that has made me love CrossFit even more.
In 2016, I discovered CrossFit and it quickly became a passion of mine. I love the challenge it presents and how it pushes me to be physically and mentally stronger. My favorite movements in CrossFit involve a barbell, and I have a particular passion for doing and teaching Olympic lifting. Coaching both adults and teens is something I take great pride in, and I am dedicated to helping others achieve their fitness goals.
I strongly believe that health and wellness are essential components of a fulfilling life, and I advocate for this in everything I do. When I'm not coaching, you can find me spending time with my family and friends, hiking, and exploring the beautiful outdoors of Alaska.

I’m a CrossFit coach and mom of two amazing girls living in Anchorage, Alaska. Growing up here, I've always had a love for fitness, and I found myself drawn to sports and staying active from a young age. Coaching junior high and high school cheerleading teams sparked my passion for helping others achieve their fitness goals.
But it wasn't until 2016 that I discovered CrossFit, and let me tell you, I was immediately hooked. The challenge that CrossFit presents, both physically and mentally, has helped me grow in ways I never thought possible. I find great joy in sharing my knowledge and encouraging others on their fitness journeys.
The CrossFit community in Anchorage is amazing, and I'm grateful to be an active member. From local competitions to community events, I love being a part of the CrossFit community and seeing others succeed. When I'm not coaching or working out, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring all that Alaska has to offer.

MS in Astrophysics
BS in Physical Oceanography
Planetary Herbalist Certificate
I grew up in Germany and moved to Alaska when I was 26 years old. As a child and teenager, I was active in Judo, Swimming and Horseback Riding. My professional background is in Astrophysics, and I worked as a Research Engineer in California. My journey to feel passionate about health and wellbeing started when I studied Herbal Medicine at the East West School of Planetary Herbology in Santa Cruz, CA.
My husband and I moved back to Anchorage in 2015 when I started my own business seeing clients for herbal consultations. I worked as a personal trainer at Body Renew before I found CrossFit in 2016. My first workout at CrossFit Anchorage was Nancy. I haven’t looked back since.
My passion for health and wellness extends beyond just fitness, nutrition, and herbal remedies - it's about creating balance in all areas of life so that you can live your best life! I strive to inspire others to take control of their own health by providing knowledge that can be incorporated into everyday life.
Now I am a mother of two children, ages 3 and 5. I am also a homeschooling mom who is passionate about teaching my kids the importance of leading an active and healthy lifestyle. That’s why I love bringing them to CrossFit with me.
