Griffin Nelson
Coach at Fit Augusta

Griffin got into fitness in college when she took a job at a gym. She had never played sports, so she learned from the ground up and fell in love with it quickly. With the exception of a couple of years, she has worked in a gym in some capacity ever since, over 15 years now. She tried CrossFit after burning out on traditional bodybuilding routines, and it was exactly what she needed. Griffin loves the constant variation, the community, the accountability, and the functionality of CrossFit. She’s especially passionate about coaching people who might feel uncomfortable in a gym. Having been overweight in high school before she found fitness, she gets excited to teach new movements and encourage athletes to step outside their comfort zone while balancing fitness with the things they enjoy outside the gym. For Griffin, that means working with all things flowers and plants as a florist and gardener.
