In 2014 Trista was presented the opportunity to purchase the CrossFit affiliate that she was a member of for 2 years. Without hesitation, she took over the affiliate and made it into her own, establishing core values & box etiquette for the community.  The affiliate started in the vault of an old bank, moved to a bigger space in the building and eventually transitioned inside of White Township Recreational Complex. At the sports complex, the members have access to an indoor turf for sled workouts & a safe space outdoors for running. Trista has invested much of her time into continuing education to be a better resource for her athletes/members and has reinvested back into the gym providing the best & latest functional fitness equipment to her community. 

Hard work has paid off in numerous ways. Athletes are becoming healthier versions of themselves. Some with the goal of losing weight and others with the intentions of improving their physical health diagnosis. Two athletes with competitive ambitions made the CrossFit Games. Masters 65+ in 2021 and Adaptive Athlete in 2022. Both finished 8th in the world in their division. 2023 our adaptive athlete Jasmine took 4th place worldwide in her division and is the fittest in the USA in her division. 

"I always knew that I wanted to help others, I just didn't know how I wanted to do it. For years prior to CrossFit, I was a Zumba Instructor, which was a perfect fit from my dance background. However, I knew I was missing SOMETHING. The first time I tried CrossFit, I KNEW that's what I was missing. The connections I've made with the people inside my affiliate have been life changing along with the connections I've got to watch them make with one another. The smiles when nailing a skill for the first time, the celebratory dances after hitting a lift, ringing the cowbell after hitting a PR and the high fives and fist bumps across the room! CrossFit is a catalyst for confidence. And I'm fortunate enough to get a front row view to it every single day!"
