MADDIE HAZEL

4 years of coaching experience
CF-L1

Maddie has been a competitive athlete her entire life, and her coaching journey started long before she found CrossFit. Maddie taught swim lessons throughout high school and in college, where she was a Division I swimmer at the University of Georgia. Helping people become confident and skilled in the water eventually transitioned into a passion for helping people build that same confidence, now in a gym.

She found CrossFit in 2018 and quickly fell in love with the challenge, variety, and community it offered. After beginning her coaching career in 2019, she spent the next four years competing in CrossFit while coaching athletes of all ages and abilities. Since then, Maddie has coached in Georgia, Massachusetts, the Pacific Northwest, and Montana, working with everyone from kids and parents to wildland firefighters, law enforcement officers, and competitive athletes. One of her favorite parts of coaching is that no two athletes are the same. Everyone walks through the door with different goals, strengths, and challenges, and helping people make progress, whatever that looks like for them, is what keeps her coming back.

Outside the gym, Maddie spends as much time outdoors as possible. You'll usually find her trail running, skiing, hunting, fly fishing, or exploring Montana with her husband and three dogs. She believes fitness should support the life you want to live, whether that's chasing a PR, keeping up with your family, performing on the job, or feeling strong enough to say yes to your next adventure
