MJ Miller

Background:

MJ grew up in the Amish community where “working out” meant physical labor in the garden or on the farm. She never had the opportunity to workout regularly or play organized sports as a child. After having 4 children & battling Lyme disease, she realized that she needed to focus on her health and fitness. She started that journey by signing up for a marathon 6 weeks after her 4th baby and took the next 8 months training for the first time in her life. Running became her sport for a few years until she got bored. She decided she was ready to face a fear she had – the gym. 

She hired a personal trainer for a few years who taught her how to use equipment, taught her the importance of proper nutrition, and helped her find confidence in a gym setting.

MJ moved with her family to Franklin in June of 2016 and her husband suggested that she join him at a local CrossFit box. With her new found confidence, she decided to give it a try. And as they say, “The rest is history”. The community, inspiration, and safe place she found soon became a daily part of her life and gave her the space to face fears she never could before. At 41, MJ is in the best shape of her life, the healthiest weight she’s ever been, and mentally healthier than ever before. Being able to keep up with her teens (even compete with her teenage boys about who is lifting more weight), is a gift she doesn’t take for granted!

MJ loves to spend her weekends in nature with her family. Camping, hiking, adventure by facing the unknown & pushing herself has become a hobby. MJ is passionate about helping people live the best versions of themselves & helping them be stronger today than they were yesterday!
