Seeking a better level of fitness that was possibly not too boring I gave CrossFit Reload a try. Boring it isn't! Instead I discovered it to be fun and have gained a greater level of fitness than I had ever imagined achieving! The coaches are top notch and always there to help you be the best you can be. Here I also discovered a supportive, loving, fun-loving, lively community that quickly became family! It is one of my favorite places to be!

Lisa Dantino

Coach

I began my Yoga teacher training in Torrington, Ct at Sanctuary Power Yoga back in 2012, but completed
it with Matt Giordano at Akasa in 2020 with 200 hour yoga teacher training certification. I started teaching on line immediately with Akasa and began in person at CrossFit Reload (Fitness Yoga) in Spring and in Summer at Akasa when studios and gyms reopened.
I reside in Plymouth with my Husband, Neil and I have two grown children Alexa and Morgan that share
in my passion for health and fitness. Exercise and fitness started at a very young age for me. I’ve always
made time for it in my life. I also enjoy motorcycle riding, paddle boarding, kayaking and hiking. Yoga
came to me about 20 years ago and as I’ve matured became my passion and saving grace. It has always
made me feel good no matter what state of mind I was in.
My Yoga styles is mostly Vinyasa Flow along with Power Toning and Fitness. Emphasis is on holding and
decomposing the poses, stretching the body along with moving with breath. Great for the body, mind
and always a great workout.

Coach Emma

Coach

Coach Emma is the latest edition to the coaching staff at CrossFit Reload and an amazing athlete prior to even setting foot in a CrossFit Box. Prior to graduating from SUNY – Plattsburgh, she helped lead their women’s ice hockey team to the 2019 Division III National Championship as a defenseman for the Cardinals. After trying CrossFit in 2016 with her older sister, Coach Emma found the workouts to be an excellent conditioning tool in the off-season. Since graduating, she has taken her fitness to the next level with her ability to quickly grasp many CrossFit movements. Coaching was the obvious, next step to share her knowledge, and enthusiasm for everyone in the gym. Her work ethic is infectious. Be sure to stop in for one of her classes.

Coach Lisa

Coach

Coach Lisa is the most humble of the bunch but also one of the best CrossFit athletes in the region, although she’ll never admit it. She has qualified for the CrossFit Games regional level with a team as well as several years of Online Qualifiers. Lisa has a long history of athletic achievement including playing Division 1 Soccer, and is now coaching High School Soccer on top of her own CrossFit training.
From air squats and pushups to bar muscle-ups and hand-stand walks, there isn’t a single movement Coach Lisa can’t do. In class, she is very unassuming and goes out of her way to assist everyone in the box. You’ll often see her inconspicuously identifying a member’s talents and helping them bring that skill to the next level. When you are in one of her classes, there is always something to learn form her. Come find out for yourself!

Coach Nate

Coach

Coach Nate is CrossFit L1 certified and is the rookie on the staff at Reload Athletics but has been an active member of the CrossFit Reload community for well over 5 years. Although he doesn’t have the lengthy tenure, experience, and numerous certifications of some coaches, Coach Nate more than makes up for it with his energy and enthusiasm. It’s his goal to have every member get the most out of their workout each and every time they show up to the box. As some members have stated, “there’s no hiding from Coach Nate during class” and that couldn’t be more true. You will often hear him exclaim, “I’ll guarantee you’ll get your money’s worth when you come to my class!” No matter how tired and
exhausted you are during the workout, Coach Nate will push you to get that extra rep. Be sure to keep an eye on him in class, he’s been known to add weight to members’ bars when they aren’t looking to push everyone a little harder.
