Kristen Mire

Kristen is originally from Atlanta, GA, and moved to Baton Rouge, LA at 18 to attend LSU, where she earned a BA in Sociology, a BS in Psychology, and a Minor in Spanish. She met her husband at LSU, and they got married shortly after she graduated. He introduced her to CrossFit at a gym in Zachary, LA, where she was immediately challenged. It was the first sport and physical activity she had ever committed to in her life, and she cried the first three times she went to the gym. However, the excellent coaching there helped Kristen push past her self-doubt and helped her realize she was capable of much more than she had imagined.

Having fallen in love with the sport, she became a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer in 2022 and coached for two years in Zachary before moving to Virginia in April 2025.

Outside of CrossFit, Kristen is a classically trained pianist, lover of live-music, a Mom to a toddler and two dogs, and an enthusiast for nature and the outdoors. She loves the beautiful VA weather and being out of the swamp!

In addition to coaching, she works in the Education Technology Industry in Operations and Fulfillment.
