More about Coach Chandler

EXPERIENCE: CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, USAW L1, ACE Certified Personal Trainer

LIKES: Her large collection of vinyls, small collection of Rubik’s cubes, video games, Pokemon cards, all her houseplants, and discovering new recipes.

‍

Chandler has always been involved in athletics. She was born and raised in northern Kentucky where she played soccer and basketball through high school.

She played soccer at Western Kentucky University, where she was a 3 year captain, a 2 year All-Conference Team member, and a 3 year Conference All-Academic Team member.

After college, Chandler moved to Chicago to complete her Masters degree in biomedical engineering. She continued to play and coach soccer in the Chicago area.

Chandler discovered Defined through Coach Robert while looking for Olympic lifting classes in the area. She immediately fell in love with the philosophy and wanted to learn everything she could about CrossFit. She started as an athlete at Defined in 2023 and joined as a coach in 2024.

Chandler is always down for heavy power cleans, burpees, and trying new movements.

Chandler's coaching style is energetic and authentic. She encourages her athletes to stay curious and celebrate all wins — whether that is a heavy lift, a first gymnastics skill, or making the Defined Committed Club.

Outside of coaching, Chandler is a mechanical engineer on a team that designs powered prosthetic devices. She has had some of her work featured at the Museum of Science and Industry and at international rehabilitation conferences.

She loves finding new coffee shops with her wife Izzy and spending days at the lake with her dog Theo.

We MAYed It | Upcoming Events

The lanai is open for training, and we’re past the final snowfall of 2021 (fingers crossed). For the first time in over a year, we’ve planned events: a fun mini-series curated by your coaches, annual workouts we cancelled in 2020 but revived for 2021, and a tribute gathering that remains at the core of our values. As we look ahead, we hope you’ll join us for First Fridays, Murph Day, and Big Floyd.
