Anne, Assistant GM
My background is loving anything outdoors, anything athletic, and working with people. When I was asked to come on staff at NCS, I couldn’t pass up meeting new people and skills and figuring out what all the buzz is about. In April 2021, I obtained my Level 1 certification from Precision Nutrition and am excited to talk about nutrition and CrossFit. I currently spend my athletic time kickboxing and learning all things CrossFit. I recover by hiking, petting my dogs and getting involved in shenanigans. I’m an Irish girl at heart!

Coach Brynn
NCS has such a great community! I am in love with the coach-ability of so many athletes.
Having a personal background with weight loss, hormone issues, research into nutrition, and learning everything I can about lifting, programming and conditioning. I have a passion for working with a person’s strengths instead of working against weakness. I love being able to sit down one on one and figuring out how I can help you accomplish this!”
My favorite part coaching is being part of the process that can turn a hard day into an accomplished one or even a less than stellar mindset into something more positive. When an athlete finishes a workout and you can tell they are proud…I get to be a part of that!

Coach Ali
Coach Ali grew up in Washington State where she played soccer throughout her youth. She went on to row varsity crew at Western Washington University and followed that with a decade of running half and full marathons.
It was after the birth of her second child that she went looking for something new, as the wear and tear of running had left her burned out both physically and mentally. In 2010 she walked into a CrossFit gym and never looked back.
In the early days, Ali helped several different teams qualify for the CrossFit Games regionals and served as an alternate for those teams. Since then she has coached at CrossFit Invictus in San Diego and CrossFit Loft in Seattle.
What Ali enjoys most is helping others achieve their goals and hit PRs. In addition, she likes to use her extensive experience doing CrossFit during and after pregnancy and before and after hip surgery to assist people with similar special circumstances. She believes strongly in using accessory work to help prevent and heal injuries.
Ali worked as an ICU nurse for 9 years before becoming a CrossFit coach, which provided her with more flexibility as she moved every few years due to her husband’s service in the U.S. Coast Guard. Now settled in Colorado Springs, they have three kids (15, 12, and 8) who are competitive swimmers. When not at swim meets or in the gym, she can be found hiking throughout the area with her family.
Ali is known for her “sunny” disposition during warmups and is always game for dishing out some motivational pep talk.
