About Emily
Hi, I’m Emily—a Personal Trainer at Harvard with a passion for helping people feel strong, confident, and capable in their bodies. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Exercise Science and am a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA. I’m also a Pre- and Postnatal Coach through Girls Gone Strong and an Olympic Weightlifting Coach through USA Weightlifting, allowing me to support clients across all stages of life and experience levels. My fitness journey started with years of running, but everything changed when I discovered CrossFit in 2009 while I was in college. That experience completely shifted my mindset—it introduced me to the power of strength training and helped me build confidence in both my body and my abilities. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to help others experience that same transformation. Since then, I’ve worked as both a CrossFit coach and personal trainer throughout the Boston area, built a bootcamp-style gym from the ground up, and coached athletes of all ages and fitness levels—from beginners to competitive athletes. Most recently, becoming a mother has added a new layer to my coaching perspective. Experiencing pregnancy and postpartum firsthand showed me just how challenging it can be to stay consistent and motivated during those stages. It strengthened my commitment to helping women navigate fitness through every phase of life with confidence, support, and realistic strategies. Whether you're new to the gym, returning after time away, or looking to take your training to the next level, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you build lasting strength—both physically and mentally.
