Alexa Woodward

About Coach

‍‍

My name is Alexa Woodward and I started CrossFit in 2015. I’m originally from Northern California, but am currently finishing my PhD in Genetic Epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania. As a long-time student of the health sciences, I’m passionate about the benefits of CrossFit/functional fitness on health and wellbeing. You can find me in the gym most days, working on getting stronger and faster – as well as competing at the occasional local competition. Outside of the gym, you can find me playing in your local adult ice hockey league or at Home Depot prepping for my next DIY project.

‍

I’ve been coaching for about 4 years, and am a big believer in mechanics > consistency > intensity. It’s rewarding to help new athletes master the basics and coach long-time members on high skill gymnastic and barbell movements. Whatever your goals are in the gym, I’m excited to help you reach them. Join us for the fitness, stay for the community.
