Carrie Miskill, CFL1
Hi! My name is Carrie Miskill and I have a lot of love for health and wellness. I’ve been an athlete my whole life and played lacrosse competitively in college. I studied exercise science and became a personal trainer for Under Armor in Baltimore, Maryland after college and absolutely loved it. However, I needed a switch in my life and decided to move to Wilmington! I started working as a manager for a local hemp and CBD company but I really missed training and the community of the gym. I’m so lucky to work with Ann and ECF to ignite my love of fitness again and share it with all of you. If you come to my class I promise there will be lots of energy and fun mixed in with all of the hard work we put out. CrossFit is such a special program and organization and I hope to bring the intensity, fun, and hard work every day for you all. Let’s get after it!
