Cori is a Texas native but Hampton roads has been her home for the past 7 years. Her husband is in the Navy and they have two little boys. Cori began her CrossFit  journey two months post patrtum in 2014. She was 90 lbs over weight and knew she needed to fix it. She wanted to be an example for her two sons on living a healthy lifestyle. Although being over weight made things extremely difficult at first she was instantly hooked on CrossFit. After six months at her box in Texas she moved back to the Hampton Roads area where she stepped foot into CrossFit Tidewater to continue her weight loss journey. Cori made CFT her home right off the bat. At first Cori really just loved working out to better her health, she also loved (and still does ) competing locally.  She quickly discovered how much she loved to help people and wanted to show others that no matter what, with hard work and dedication anyone could do CrossFit. After being a member for 3 years she took the leap and completed her Level 1. Her passions also included cooking as she has a culinary arts degree and also nutrition coaching. Cori is passionate about coaching and loves helping people achieve their goals. She is invested in each of the member that she encounters at CFT.
