CrossFit Coach
Mercedes is passionate about CrossFit, both as an athlete and coach. She thrives on helping others reach their fitness goals and brings intensity, fun, and creativity to every class she leads, making even the toughest workouts feel rewarding and achievable.
Fitness has always been a part of Mercedes life, playing soccer, tennis, running and hopping from gym to gym. But it took some health issues to make fitness truly transformative and it was when she found CrossFit. CrossFit not only challenged her physically but introduced her to an amazing community. Three years strong with her newfound love she decided to pursue a CrossFit Level 1 trainer certification in 2024, with the goal of giving back to others just as the CrossFit community had supported her.
Originally from the great Southwest, Mercedes was born on the border in El Paso, Texas. She moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico to attend New Mexico State University where she earned a Bachelors in Aerospace Engineering. She moved to Woodbridge in the summer of 2021 and she lives with her three dogs and two cats-her “crazies”, as she lovingly calls them. Her pack keeps her on her toes, always running and enjoying plenty of loving cuddles.
Mercedes is eager to continue learning from the best coaches and growing her own skills. Her classes are known for their high energy, great music, and positive atmosphere—come experience the unique vibe of a Coach Mercedes session and let her help you take your fitness journey to the next level!
