Coach Amy Schmid

Bio

I grew up as a gymnast, wake boarding, playing softball, volleyball, rugby and boxing. At 18, I got very sick with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which paralyzed me for a few months. During my long and humbling recovery, I began coaching and developed a true passion. 

Since then, I have enjoyed working with people at every level to reach their goals. I discovered CrossFit while attending and training at the Fire Academy in 2010. I enjoy incorporating my years of training experience with CrossFit’s training philosophy.
