TIA HURT
COACH
Tia has been teaching for 20 years and is currently a special education teacher in the Shawnee Mission School District. She is very passionate about helping students reach their full potential! She is married to a wonderful man, Red and she simply adores her son, Fitu.
Tia has been active throughout her life. She played every sport you could think of in high school and went on to play collegiate soccer. Despite being so active, Tia has always struggled with her body image and weight. It wasn’t until September of 2014 that Tia discovered CrossFit and all it has to offer. Since discovering CrossFit, Tia dropped 70+ pounds, gained more energy, and fell in love with the community CrossFit brings. Tia says the key to her success has been dialing in her nutrition. Tia has learned that 80% of progress happens in the kitchen and the remaining 20% is the workout. The hard part is nutrition, not CrossFit!
“We are what we are repeatedly do, therefore excellence is not an act but a habit.” – Aristotle
Tia has been coaching since 2015, earning her CrossFit Level 2 trainer status in July 2021. She thoroughly enjoys coaching athletes to become a better version of themselves. She desires to see each athlete reach their goals, PR’s or even with their body image. Tia’s goal as a coach is to keep you safe, teach you the proper movements, provide nutritional information to help dial in your macronutrients, and help you reach your CrossFit goals!
The CrossFit community has become “Ohana” to me! We are family!
