Brandy is the Head Coach/Owner of CrossFit South Forney. She is a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer and has been active in CrossFit since 2011. Prior to finding CrossFit, she had been dedicated to personal fitness for almost 20 years in the “Traditional Gym” setting. Brandy says, “From the moment I started CrossFit I was hooked! I am humbled each and every day. The high-intensity, constantly varied workouts have produced changes in me that I never thought possible. I am in better shape today than at any point in my life. CrossFit has made me stronger both mentally and physically. Sharing CrossFit and seeing the excitement our members get from achieving their goals is a feeling that I can’t describe. CrossFit is my passion and I am inspired, daily, by all the amazing people I get to coach at CrossFit South Forney.”
In addition to being the Head Coach/Owner at CSF, Brandy is the proud mother of a 13 year old daughter, an integral part of her husband’s electrical business, and a Registered Nurse (on baby retirement :).
Brandy’s fitness philosophy is simple: Give CrossFit 3 months…What it gives YOU will last a lifetime!
