We are excited to announce a new addition to the CFC staff! Carrie Hogan will be joining us mid-October coming all the way to Coronado from London. She brings a wealth of knowledge on nutrition, strength training, yoga and more.
After five years developing her professional qualifications and experience in London, the yearning to explore her American dual-nationality became too great. Coupled with the knowledge that so many of her mentors reside in California, it became time for Carrie to follow her sense of adventure and move West. San Diego stole her heart in December of 2014 during her first visit, and has remained “top of the list” ever since.
She will be living in Coronado, next to the dog beach with her rescue Chihuahua “Bay” – a famously shy dog, Bay is elated to pass up the wet, grey London climate for a move to the sun!
Carrie is a self-confessed “recovering Type-A”, with an insurmountable love for movement, hiking, cooking, climbing and lifting heavy things. Weightlifting, Yoga and Strength & Power training have become the invaluable vessels through which Carrie has built her strength and resilience in response to life’s challenges. Both a meditation and a movement practice, Carrie’s love for fitness and total health is one she hopes to make contagious.
Cooking has become a joy and creative outlet for Carrie in recent years as well as a key tool for health and performance. She is an adventurous and playful, self-taught cook- with a taste for chili that makes most “normal” folks weep! Fortunately, she finds that love well-served here in San Diego. Her interest in nutritional science developed after she experienced debilitating IBS in her teen years. She attributes her full recovery from it to her love of cooking and eating real-food.
Carrie seeks to smile generously and dance daily. A long-time proponent of the stress-squashing benefits of dance, she wishes we all used it more – a free, innate human tool for melting physical tension and anxiety. Not to be reserved just for nights on the town!
Carrie is delighted to be joining the CrossFit Coronado community this October and looks forward to meeting each of you, ‘forging elite fitness’ and making new friendships under the SoCal sun.
