Nissa became a strength and conditioning coach in 2005 and began CrossFit in 2008 after reading a tiny blurb in Men’s Health which talked about “this new fitness craze” that combined gymnastics and weightlifting. Her first workout was Cindy completed in the weightroom at the high school she worked at…she couldn’t wash her hair for like a week. As a CrossFit coach, Nissa’s superpower is challenging people to virtuosity. Her areas of expertise include gymnastics and staff development. Her favorite Girl WOD is Diane, her favorite Hero WOD is Hotshots 19, and her favorite movement is Strict Handstand Push-Ups. If she could pick one song as her Official Hype Song, it would be “Juicy” by Notorious B.I.G. As an athlete, Nissa is a 3x North Central Regional Team Competitor and 1x Semifinals Team Competitor. Nissa is wife to Eric and mother to Cam. When she isn’t at the gym, she’s either busy running her school, Apogee Omaha, or spending time outside, building her family’s homestead, and trying new restaurants and breweries.
