COACH CRYSTAL

Crystal is a first-generation Mexican American from Milwaukee, WI, who moved to Chicago on a whim 15 years ago. Sobriety led her to finally explore her fitness journey and start running in 2018. The sport has played a major role in her life ever since. Running also introduced Crystal to the Chicago running community, which completely changed her practice and how she approaches fitness in general. She loves the marathon distance and hopes to run all six major marathons one day.

Crystal was an operations manager at a web3 startup, but the universe had other plans. She is new to both strength and run coaching. Dedication to community and empowerment of all athletes are the cornerstones of her coaching. Crystal is ecstatic to share this and grow with the Ethos team and community. When she’s not in the studio or running some miles, she’s on the hunt for the coffee shop with the best espresso tonic and cuddling with her rescue chihuahua, Coco.
