Leah
Coach at ActiveVT

Leah first found CrossFit in 2020 during the era of outdoor workouts, masked-up squats, and kettlebells spaced six feet apart. What started as a way to move turned into something much more: a source of strength, confidence, and community. She earned her CrossFit Level 1 in 2022 (alongside Coach Jenny) and also holds CPR, AED, and First Aid certifications.

While Leah dabbled in cross-country running and field hockey growing up, it was moving to Vermont for college that really sparked her love of being active—especially alpine skiing. But it was CrossFit, and the thrill of heavy barbells and bodyweight challenges, that helped her discover just how strong and capable she really was.

Leah holds the unique honor of being ActiveVT’s very first member, and that same spirit of “first to show up” carries through in how she coaches. She’s a natural at making newcomers feel at ease, a steady source of encouragement.

Outside of the gym Leah and her husband dote on their chickens, dogs, cat … and downhill ski whenever the conditions allow.
