Anel is the proud owner of two successful Nacogdoches businesses, CrossFit NarroWay, and Anel’s Hair Salon.
 
Always up for a challenge, Anel joined the CrossFit community because she loves finding opportunities to improve her health and wellness. She credits part of her motivation for staying healthy and building strength to her grandchildren, as she looks forward to being an active participant in their lives. Forever inspiring to everyone she meets, Anel shares her passion for fitness by challenging her sons and daughter to beat (or even match) her progress. They’re still trying.
​
Anel became a CrossFit coach because she loves to help people feel better about themselves. Her greatest coaching inspiration is being there to see the look in people’s eyes when they realize that they were able to achieve something they believed they couldn’t.  
​
Coming to CrossFit NarroWay each day is like coming home to Anel. Everyone is welcoming and ready to motivate each other. “These are my people, my family.” Anel attributes the continued legacy of NarroWay to the support of her amazing husband, Kelly. 
​
Anel's wisdom for new CrossFit members: "You will get stronger. It will take time, so don’t get discouraged. Find your people wherever you are. Find a strong community where you build each other up, because we are stronger and will go further together. "

Nathan finds great value in the mental and physical health benefits of exercise. Diagnosed with hypertension at a young age, he found higher-intensity workouts to be a great alternative to the sluggish side effects that often accompany prescription medication.

​

Understanding that most people want to be healthier, Nathan is passionate about helping people feel comfortable in the gym environment. He loves that coaching allows him to guide people through discomfort and towards a healthier lifestyle.

​

Taking great pride in the high standard of excellence that the certified coaching staff maintains is one of the things that Nathan loves most about CrossFit NarroWay, and he appreciates how this professionalism sets the tone and environment of the individual classes.

Nathan’s wisdom for new CrossFit members: “CrossFit is not flipping tires and throwing sledge hammers. The workouts are designed so anyone can do them and offer many scaling options. Whether you are in the best or worst shape of your life you can come to CrossFit and get a great workout tailored to your fitness level.”
