Jamie Townsend

Coach Jamie was born in Philly, raised in Jersey, and ending up back in Philly for college. From a young age she was involved with sports and physical fitness, playing soccer, basketball, and softball through high school. She dabbled in several different gym and fitness regimens in her twenties, but did not quite find the right fit until emailing Goose at Crossfit Fairmount. She was instantly hooked and after a year of being a member was offered a fabulous opportunity to get the proper certification to coach. "If you can manage young children and teach them how to read and write, then you can certainly lead a Crossfit class," Goose cheekily said to Jamie. And of course, like usual, he was right. Coach Jamie has been coaching for nearly a decade now at several different gyms in the area. She continues to enjoy fusing her early childhood education skills with promoting thoughtful, safe, and successful everyday crossfit sessions with the wonderful Philadelphia community. Come work out with Jamie on Fridays at 6am.
