Thunderbolt Coach Ariélle has been doing CrossFit for over 10 years and joined us here at Thunderbolt two years ago. She coaches CrossFit classes, Pregnancy/Postpartum foundations, and does one-on-one and small group personal training. Ariélle has been a licensed cosmetologist (hair & makeup artist) for Studio Film Mechanics, local 476, for over 15 years. Becoming a CrossFit coach is her second professional journey. It’s an interesting combination because, on one hand, Ariélle makes people LOOK pretty and on the other hand, she helps them become the strongest and healthiest version of themselve. When Ariélle is not coaching, you can usually spot her doing the Competitor’s training track program, prepping for a Crossfit comp, an Olympic lifting meet, or participating in some weird fitness challenge Her favorite Crossfit movements are snatch, pistols, rope climbs, and ring muscle-ups. Outside the gym (and most importantly), Ariélle is mom to Adrian & Austin, identical twin 15-year-old wrestlers, and baby Audri, and wife to firefighter Miguel. She’s a dog-mom to twin pomskys Panda and Winter. She loves being outdoors and exploring the world with her family.
