There are CrossFit coaches, and there are gym owners, and there are brilliant and wonderful human beings. But very rarely do you get all of these qualities in one person. Hanna’s communication of the expectations, the desired stimulus of the workout, and her reinforcement of the standards throughout the workout make you want to move well; not just for yourself, but because you know she expects the best from you. This is what CrossFit coaching is supposed to look like. Thank you, Hanna!

Issa is absolutely amazing! Her coaching to both help me improve my form and push myself has led to PRs I’m proud of! She and Sarah have also been incredible adjusting my workouts so I can stay safely active through tough rounds of IVF, which is more than I ever could have dreamed of when I first decided to try CF!

Cierra at CrossFit Lorton is a fantastic coach. I dropped in for a 0500 class and she made me feel both at ease welcomed immediately. Cierra led the class through a very thorough warm up routine which translated very into both the strength portion and WOD. Additionally, she made point to make each class member was correct in their and if not gave cues on correcting said form. It was readily apparent Cierra is passionate about fitness and CrossFit. This combined with her years of coaching experience puts her in the ideal position to help/support each person reach their fitness goals. Simply put, Cierra is a fantastic coach!

Today was skill day, and we were working on ring muscle-ups. Fortunately for me, Coach Cierra was coaching the 5am class. She’s my assigned coach, but honestly—like many of the coaches at CrossFit Lorton—she knows exactly where each person is in their progress, their weak points, and what to focus on. With her coaching, I always feel like I’m learning, having fun, and staying safe. This morning I got pretty close to landing a ring muscle-up, but more importantly, I knew exactly what I was doing wrong thanks to her clear, knowledgeable feedback. Training with Cierra feels like getting pro-athlete-level coaching without the pressure of being a career athlete. That’s rare, and it’s why I keep showing up.

If you're looking for a coach who won't let you get away with anything, Cierra is your person. She's a fantastic coach who provides the kind of unfiltered—and yes, occasionally unsolicited—feedback you absolutely need to excel in CrossFit. Take this morning, for instance: the whole class was celebrating my new PR, only for Cierra to swoop in with a lightning-fast 'no-rep' because my knees slightly bent. All joking aside, anyone would be lucky to work with Cierra as her coaching elevates everyone around her.

Cierra is an exceptional CrossFit coach whose expertise, dedication, and energy have made a significant impact on my fitness journey. She consistently tailors movements to align with my personal goals, making sure each workout is both effective and purposeful. After my shoulder surgery, Cierra prioritized my recovery, incorporating modifications that met the stimulus, while still encouraging me to perform at my highest potential. Her knowledge of functional movement and training, and ability to emphasize the “why” behind it, combined with her positive and motivating personality, creates a such a motivating environment, even at 5am :) Her guidance and commitment make showing up to do the work an easy choice.

She was fantastic, she gave clear and concise information during the warm up, prep, and workout periods. Helped encourage use to push harder when needing to but also didn't pressure us to push further then we could or were comfortable with. She also had good little nuggets of information to improve out snatches. I know I especially benefited from one of her suggestions. I also loved the format with just focusing on an Olympic lift but I also love oly lifting.
