Karinne Couture

Coach Karinne grew up in Wisconsin and attended UW-La Crosse before moving to Maine in 2017 to be closer to her extended family. Karinne began doing CrossFit in 2021 and began coaching in Spring of 2022. She states coaching CrossFit was a natural transition, having previously coached gymnastics for ten years. Karinne enjoys developing the level of trust with each member that allows them to push and test their limits. She says watching individuals build confidence in themselves, overcome fears, and be able to laugh along the way is something she feels grateful to be a part of every day.

Karinne grew up competing in club gymnastics and playing soccer through high school. She continued on with gymnastics as a DIII collegiate athlete. Karinne loves the Community aspect of CrossFit and says, "my favorite thing about CrossFit is seeing the community support each other, not only in the gym, but in so many other aspects of life as well."

Outside of the gym, Coach Karinne can be found in her kitchen, cooking and playing with a recipe until it tastes just right. She also enjoys hiking with her dog, Mowgli, and tries to plan a backpacking trip every year!
