Missy Byers

CF-L2 | Kids Coach

I joined the Gifford Fitness community in January 2021 through the Kickstart program.  I knew nothing about CrossFit, but quickly fell in love with the challenging workouts and the supportive community that is the heart of what CrossFit is.  At Gifford Fitness, I found an amazing group of people who push each other and encourage one another to be their best every single day.

When a kids program was added at Gifford Fitness, I knew immediately I wanted to be a part of it.  I am passionate about helping kids realize fitness is fun and enjoy watching them develop life-long habits that help them succeed.  I began coaching in 2024 to help kids learn and grow, while developing their very own encouraging and uplifting CrossFit community.  I love seeing them push themselves, and as a result accomplish things they never dreamed possible.

Outside of the gym, I am a third grade teacher at a local elementary school.  I also coordinate the preschool class at my church.  I enjoy living life to the fullest - reading, crafting, and spending time with my three boys.
