Bio
Al grew up in the water as a synchronized swimmer and was a 4-time Minnesota All-State Team Member. With over 15 years of coaching and officiating across the metro, her love for movement runs deep. After college, Al did a complete 180—trading in grace for grit when she discovered strength sports.
She spent three years training and competing in Strongman, followed by a year in Powerlifting. The grittier, the chalkier—the better! Eventually, she wandered into a CrossFit gym and instantly fell in love. So many athletic disciplines combined into one? Yes, please!
Having personally experienced how fitness can transform life far beyond the gym, Al views coaching as a powerful way to pay it forward. Her mission? To spark that same fire in others—helping them grow stronger, inside and out.
