The Team

Our Amazing Coaches

Heather Lamb

Head Coach

From a young age I participated in organized sports and have always enjoyed being active. After playing basketball, softball and field hockey in high school; I had the privilege of playing field hockey at Longwood College. Once I graduated, I got married and started teaching HS Math and coaching basketball at a local high school. It wasn’t long after that I started having kids and found myself not making time to workout anymore.

Finally after I had my 4th child I found CrossFit and I fell in love with it. I was able to feel likeI was part of a “team” again and also let the competitive side of me out! I soon realized I wanted to coach. I am very passionate about what I do and I wanted to share that with others! I love helping others find joy and success in working out! It’s my goal to help them feel good about themselves when they walk out that door!

Bio Coming

Katie Daniels

FIT Coach

I grew up dabbling in many sports, but spent a majority of my time dedicated to cheerleading and gymnastics. In college, I coached children’s gymnastics for over four years. I received my bachelors degree in psychology with a minor in exercise science. I am a certified occupational therapy assistant as well as a behavior therapist for children with autism.

I was first a member at this gym before becoming a coach. I had never tried CrossFit before but the moment I walked into the doors, I felt a sense of “home”. The coaches and other members were so welcome and always made an effort to make you feel seen and important. After being a member for four years, I found myself learning more about exercise, CrossFit, and health in general. I was offered the opportunity to become a FIT coach and have loved being able to give members the guidance and support they need in their fitness journeys. I have a huge heart for helping others and I’m grateful that I get to also do that as a coach at Chics Beach CrossFit.
