Let's Welcome Katy and Tom to the Petram Coaching Staff!

We are super excited to announce that our team is growing! You will see Katy and Tom mixing in to classes and shadowing over the summer, please give them a Petram welcome when you see them at the gym next! I asked each for a quick bio:

Katy G.

“Katy started her CrossFit journey in 2012 when she fell in love with the hard workouts and strength benefits. At first, she struggled with Olympic lifting but was determined to get better at the snatch and clean and jerk. She soon came to love these movements and qualified for/competed in the American Open in 2016. In 2017, Katy earned her CrossFit Level 1 certification and began coaching both CrossFit and Olympic lifting. This year, she looks forward to earning her CrossFit Level 2 certification. Katy has trained with several high level Olympic lifting coaches in both the U.S. and Colombia. Now, she is excited to bring her knowledge of Olympic lifting to CrossFit Petram and hopes to inspire others to aim high.”

Tom R.

“I couldn’t be more pumped to join the Petram team. After becoming a member last August I quickly fell in love with the sport and going to gym became my favorite part of my routine. CrossFit has given me much more than stronger muscles and a healthier lifestyle, so I’m stoked to be able to get on the coaching side and help others reap the same benefits!

Sports and fitness have always been a huge part of my life and have been a main focus of mine throughout childhood and high school. I graduated from Towson University in 2018 with a degree in Kinesiology which I’m happy to be putting to good use. Currently, I work as a bartender at First State Brewing and the Chesapeake Inn (which explains why any 5/6/7AM-ers may not recognize me). I’m so excited to continue my passion for fitness here at Petram and I can’t wait to work with you all!”
