WELCOME COACH TERESA

WELCOME COACH TERESA

At a time when good news is hard to come by, we are so excited to announce that Teresa Fox will be officially joining the Cove coaching staff! She is currently in our coach’s training program but over the past several months, she had been assisting us by doing our Foundations/101 classes (before the doors closed) and has been continuously been coaching zoom classes for our at-home program (11 AM zoom with Coach Teresa tomorrow), and was a CrossFit Level-1 coach at Arenal Fitness (formerly Arenal CrossFit). Teresa is a long-time member who is famously known for her wonderful renditions of the National Anthem during Cove events as well as her passion for this place and community. She even has a Cove tattoo! Please give her a warm welcome and congratulate her on this expanded role!

Here is a quick bio from Coach Teresa:

“I was born and raised in the DC metro area, growing up in Hyattsville, MD. I joined the Air Force 10 years ago and moved back to Maryland in 2015. My fitness journey has blossomed thanks to my military career. Pre-military, I was not a physically active person. After joining, I realized that I could either learn to love exercising, or I wouldn’t make it in the military. I bounced around, trying to find my passion. I got into running, yoga, spin classes, and even tried to swim. In 2016, I made a commitment to myself to get serious about my physical fitness and that journey led me to the Cove through my good friends who were already members. Since my first partner WOD at the end of 2016, I have become hooked on the Cove community. I earned my Level 1 certification in 2018 and continually hone my skills. I am nowhere near an elite athlete, but helping others also helps me to grow, get stronger, and perfect my movements every day. My favorite movements are squats and cleans. My nemesis is the assault bike. Regardless of the workout, when I look at it, I know that my fellow Covies will help me push through and I will be stronger and healthier for it. The Cove is truly the best place on Earth.”
