Bri VanHyningCoach

Bri discovered CrossFit in 2013 while pursuing a degree in Exercise Science at ASU and instantly fell in love with how effective, universal and inclusive it was. She never considered herself much of an athlete, but by challenging herself with CrossFit workouts, she began to see major changes in her own health and fitness levels, which inspired her to begin the journey to coach others.

Bri began volunteering with our CrossFit Kids program in 2014, which only enhanced her desire to teach people of all ages, shapes and sized about functional fitness and how life-changing it can be. Bri’s positive attitude makes any task seem possible and her knowledge of traditional strength and conditioning protocols helps her serve our Fit Phoenix members by making them stronger and faster than ever. Bri’s passion for Olympic Lifting was sparked by what she learned in CrossFit. She is now a national level Olympic Lifter and regularly competes in both local and national meets.
