A few months after moving from New Hampshire to Chicago in 2013, Allyn found CrossFit and never looked back!  As a longtime athlete, Allyn was drawn quickly to the competitive side of CrossFit, competing in Wodapalooza, Granite Games, and various local competitions in the midwest.  Her fitness interests have also included powerlifting, strongman skills, and endurance-based training.

Allyn began coaching CrossFit in Chicago in 2015 and over time took on additional leadership opportunities that included weekly programming, coaching development and mentorship, planning and running community events, and helping to lead the foundations program for new athletes.  Allyn has a passion for helping all athletes build a confidence inside the gym that transfers outside the gym, supporting them in their journeys to trust themselves and their capabilities no matter what life throws at them!
