Although Shawna wasn't athletic growing up, she was exposed to softball and gymnastics. While attending Temecula Valley High School, she competed as a Cross Country runner. As a young newlywed she juggled the needs of her household with the responsibilities of her professional career which led her to struggle with fluctuating weight and overall health. Once Shawna learned she was expecting her first child, Nathan, she knew her life needed a change for the better. She began a healthier life for her new son and soon expected a second. Within 6 months of Aaron's birth, Shawna was fitter and healthier than ever. With her new passion for fitness, she was motivated to help women in similar situations. As a very successful personal trainer for LA Fitness, word grew of Shawna's passion for her client's fitness goals and she found herself working with a broader range of athletic ability. Along her path as a professional fitness trainer, Shawna obtained her CPC certification as well as several others. With the education she received through her certification seminars, Shawna discovered the importance of functional training. Although Shawna trained her clients under the roof of a globo-gym, her clients were all exposed to a challenging functional fitness program with minimal rest breaks. Her reputation grew, not only as an outstanding coach, but a tough one. Her husband discovered CrossFit in April of 2010 and quickly joined the CFIE family. Jason introduced CrossFit to Shawna where she immediately went from an addicted athlete to an aspiring coach. She fell in love with the program and our encouraging athletes after completing her first WOD. Shawna's transition from a fitness trainer to a CrossFit Coach was the fastest in CFIE history and Shawna quickly earned the attention and respect of her fellow athletes.
Aside from coaching CFIE athletes, Shawna is responsible for all the fitness competitions outside of CrossFit. She coordinates all charity 5k, 10k, Mud Run, and Half/Full Marathon race teams and events. She organizes and executes the event planning, promoting, registration, information, and itinerary from start to finish. Shawna also communicates and promotes CFIE events through the CFIE Facebook page.
