Our Team

Mindy grew up in small town Perry, Florida, and graduated FSU Business School. She moved to Newnan, GA in 2003. She absolutely loves Newnan – the city, the people, and the heart of the community. It is home.

Mindy has always been involved in sports and athletics, growing up playing soccer and cheerleading. In coaching CrossFit, she has also realized her love of encouraging others – seeing their goals accomplished within the gym, as well as, how that affects their life outside the gym. Building and serving the CrossFit Newnan community – individually and as a team – is her heart.

Outside the gym, Mindy’s greatest joy is time spent with her husband, Scott. They enjoy staying busy with everything outdoors, on the water, on a mountain, or in the skies. She is currently working on her private pilot’s license, loves to ski, and needs to feel the sand in her toes frequently. Their two fur babies, Burch and Bella are always closely in toe. Mindy’s greatest love and peace is in her belief in Jesus Christ. She enjoys sharing God’s love by serving her church, her small group, and her community.

Andrew got married to his wife Kourtney in 2021. No kids yet, Andrew is very protective of his food and the kids will take away from that. His career pays him to yell at people at five in the morning… talk about a good job!

In his free time he enjoys forcing people to intentionally hurt themselves with external loads and also intentionally hurting himself with external loads. CrossFit is doing constantly varied, functional movements at high intensity. With this definition, Andrew has been doing CrossFit for thirty two years but if you only consider the time that he’s had a bar in his hand, he started in 2012. He started getting paid to yell at people and hurt their feelings, also know as coaching, since 2012.

His favorite thing about CrossFit is constantly wondering if the pain he is feeling is delayed onset muscle soreness from his training the day before or if he is starting to develop scoliosis.

Andrew’s favorite CrossFit movement is the shavasana pose or in his words the “corpse pose”.

Dr. Eric has been married to his wife Christina since 2007. They have three children, two girls, ages ten and eight, and a boy, age three.

He has been a chiropractor since 2006. He started Optimal Performance Clinic in 2007 and has an office in the CrossFit Newnan gym. He moved from Canada to Georgia in 1998 and he loves to play ice hockey.

He started doing CrossFit in 2012 and also started coaching in 2012. His favorites things about CrossFit are the accountability and friendships that it brings. He also enjoys the WOD structure.

His favorite movement is the back squat… or really anything that doesn’t make him sore ;).

If he could pick any food to be calorie free, it would be Reese Peanut Butter Cups.

Amanda is married to Mike Newton. She has 3 amazing children: Arielle, Hailey, and Michael. Amanda has her Bachelor’s degree in business and is working on her Master’s degree in Nonprofit Leadership. Amanda’s heart is in serving others. She loves to volunteer, give back to her community, and works for a NonProfit – Elevate Coweta Students at Newnan High School supporting students in many aspects of school and life.

CrossFit Newnan has become a second home and family to Amanda. CrossFit has changed her life, not only in the gym, but outside the gym. The thing Amanda loves the most about CrossFit is the community’s encouragement and support. She loves that it’s a place where it is you against yourself and regardless of your age or abilities, everyone is cheering you on, right where you are. Encouraging one another to improve and succeed and celebrating each other every step of the way. Amanda’s goal as a trainer is to give back the accountability and knowledge the other trainers have given her, as well as to continue to learn and improve every step of the way.

Hi everyone! I’m very excited to be joining the CrossFit Newnan coaching team! I’ve recently retired after 20 years at Google where I built skills as a manager and mentor which I believe transfer well to coaching in CrossFit.

I live in the Newnan area with my wife and two kids and I’m Georgia born and raised (Go Braves!). My favorite lift is the Snatch because it is a never-ending journey to improve on the lift’s technique.

I’m a bit of a reptile nerd, so if you have questions about them or need help identifying a snake in your yard, I’d love to help!

Jared has been married to his wife, Rebecca, since 2011. Together, they have twin boys who keep life busy and fun!

Outside of family and work, Jared enjoys staying active and spending time with the people around him. He has a passion for fitness through triathlons, HYROX, and CrossFit and enjoys challenging himself while helping others reach their goals.

Jared’s favorite thing about fitness is seeing individuals push themselves to accomplish something they once thought was impossible and become better than they were yesterday.

He loves being able to coach, encourage, and help others reach goals they didn’t think were possible.
