Dylan McAleese
Certified CrossFit L-3 Trainer
CrossFit Kids Trainer
CrossFit Advanced Judge
Registered Nurse, Emergency/Trauma
Advanced Life Support Certification
Dylan started CrossFit almost ten years ago with her mom in Tampa. It became their last in a long line of fitness programs, rightfully so. She started coaching soon after, helping with the kids’ classes and summer camps at her gym and then making her way to running adult classes. After meeting Coach Lindsey in college, she found a second home at CFC, and has been trying to keep up with her ever since. Those are the two things she loves about CrossFit…the people and the addictive quality of always being able to improve or learn something new. As a nurse, she knows any activity is good, so she tells people to find what they love…and then tells them why it will be CrossFit.
Nadine Kramel
Crossfit L-1 Trainer
Nadine has been doing CrossFit for a little over 6 years. She first got into it after reading that runners did it to gain strength and aerobic capacity for better performance. Nadine had never touched a barbell, let alone anything more than the 5lb dumbbell at the gym. Once she completed an on-ramp course she quickly fell in love with challenging herself regularly. In 2016 she became a coach and it only made her love CrossFit more, and she enjoys watching CFC members hit milestones and PRs in their fitness journey. One of the biggest myths about CrossFit is that you already have to be in shape to do it. Which is so untrue! CrossFit is not just for the elite athletes out there, it is for anyone and can be adjusted for everyone. It definitely takes patience with yourself, but no matter what level you’re at it’s an amazing way to achieve your best you.
