Anne Lundy
Anne LundyCF Coach
Anne is a proud mother of one daughter, Alia, age 25 who is an aspiring film producer. She was raised in the Bay Area, mostly in Vallejo and went to college at UC Davis.
Anne received her CrossFit Certified Level 1 in May 2013. She remembers doing her first Crossfit WOD on Feb 8th, 2007; it was a Tabata of pull-ups (in which she did ring rows), push-ups (which she did on her knees), sit-ups (she did crunches), and squats (or not so much squatting, more like a slight bend at the knee).
3 years later, at age 40, she was able to do all of these movements and more!
Anne loves CrossFit and all the wonderful, positive affects it’s had on her life: her improved health, strength and new physical skills. She especially loves the community (or communities). “I’ve lived in a few counties the last 7 years and in each one, I’ve made lifetime friends through my boxes. In just this last year since I’ve moved to Marin County, I’ve met so many amazing people at TCF, that I feel at home. I’m very fortunate and grateful, I have found my passion through CrosFit and it is my commitment as a part of the TCF family to help others improve and to always improve myself and be the best coach I can be.”

Which was a bear complex with running with Coach Anne! That was over 5 years ago.
