Lissa Garrity

Coach Lissa grew up in Maine, then lived in Pennsylvania and Tennessee for a large part of her life before moving back to Maine in 2017. She joined a CrossFit gym in 2010 and began coaching in 2011. Lissa says, "CrossFit had such an IMMEDIATE positive impact on my life (physical/mental/emotional health, belonging and community) that I wanted to be able to share it with the world!" She loves connecting with athletes on a personal level and watching members meet and exceed goals. Another favorite part of coaching for Lissa is, "the absolute privilege I feel to be entrusted with an hour of someone's day and the fire that that gives me to make their experience a positive one".

Lissa was a three-sport varsity athlete (field hockey, swimming, softball), and she says being outside was always part of her family's adventures. She loves CrossFit because she feels that she is surrounded by a constant crew of like-minded individuals who know how to have fun as they cheer each other on and get strong and healthy. She also just really loves snatches!

Outside of the gym, Coach Lissa enjoys hanging out with her family, playing "nerdy" games, and doing crosswords. She is also fluent in French!
