Nia Reate-Galarza Coach

I started CrossFit in 2012 and fell in love instantly. I love that there is always something to improve upon, but it also has a competitive feel to it. This was something I missed after I stopped playing college basketball. I also enjoy the community feeling and being surrounded by people with common health and fitness goals. HGX has become a way of life for me, since all the different movements and workouts challenge my body and mind. I also LOVE HGX because of the many ways we can scale workouts to fit the needs of our members. This has been especially helpful when my mom had hip replacement surgery but still wanted to work out. It also opened the doors to my brother who uses a wheelchair and had limited options when it came to working out. Most places are not educated in working with people who are disabled. The CrossFit community believes everyone can participate. Inclusion is so important to me. After working out at HGX for a few years, I decided to get my CrossFit Level 1 certification. I also started to study weightlifting more and won my first competition. I have enjoyed sharing all my knowledge with the HGX family and look forward to helping those that join our box!

Jeanine Andrious Coach

Sports and Fitness have always been a passion of mine and I enjoy the smiles people have when leaving the gym after a fulfilling workout. This has driven me to expand my knowledge, obtaining my CF Level 1 and continuing the path towards USA Weightlifting and NASM.
I grew up playing competitive sports, representing California in Squash’s Howe Cup, completing many Triathlons and Marathons. For the past 4 years my training focus has been CrossFit and competing in local competitions. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with HGX's great coaches and to help you all achieve your fitness goals.

Kairina Perez Coach

I first stumbled upon CrossFit through a beginner’s class offered at my college and enjoyed it so much that I joined a CrossFit gym as soon as the class ended and haven’t looked back since. The list of reasons I love CrossFit goes on and on, but my top two are: (1) the mindset shift from what your body looks like to what your body can do - no matter where you are on your journey, progress is always celebrated; and (2) the community - I’ve met some of my closest friends (not to mention my hubs) through CrossFit and absolutely love the camaraderie at the gym. I’m excited to work with the coaches as I learn to step into their shoes and help HGX members on their health and fitness journeys!

Julie Pitts Coach

I started CrossFit in 2011 with my mom and was instantly hooked to the both the CrossFit community and challenge of each WOD. After 5 years at my first box, a move meant I had to find a new gym. I’m so glad to have found HGX. The gym has become my happy place to work off stress, connect with others and challenge myself outside my comfort zone. I am excited to learn from the best coaches and help other athletes reach their highest potential.

Maddie Prangley Coach

CrossFit Level 2

I am a lifelong athlete. I started as a competitive swimmer at the age of 6 and continued through college. I have also competed in Olympic weightlifting, power lifting,in water polo, crew, road running, trail running, triathlons of various distances and spartan races. I found CrossFit in 2015 as a way to cross train for collegiate swimming and immediately fell in love with it. I received my L1 in 2017 and coached at CrossFit KMK in Connecticut before moving to the Bay Area to pursue a career in biotech as a scientist. I continued coaching in the Bay Area, and received my L2 in 2018. My passion is to inspire my fellow athletes to continuously grow and learn and love their bodies. I seek out new tools, methods, and techniques to share with athletes, and believe that whether you're 1 week, 1 year, or 10 years into your fitness journey there will always be room to grow, learn, and achieve new things.

He enjoys teaching and encouraging members as they work towards their fitness goals, but has an affinity for Olympic lifting and all the technical details that come along with it. While coaching, he’ll be looking to maintain his crown of best workout playlist and occasionally sing a few notes.

Shane Stent Coach

Crossfit Level 1, Aerobic Capacity course by Chris Hinshaw, Spin Instructor, Mobility WOD 101

After injuring my leg playing volleyball for UC Davis, I got introduced to the bike, which led to road racing, adventure races, and events like the Death Ride (16.000 feet of climbing over 129 miles) and LotoJa (200 miles, three states, no problem). Many hard lessons in the endurance world have created a foundation for my passion for fitness.
From 24 hour adventures to road races, and from Murph to yoga, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my coaching and personal training. If I'm not coaching at HGX, I can be found with my wife and two kids, selling homes as an agent at Compass Realty, coaching for the Academy Volleyball Club, or with my three dogs. In between all that, I still find time to sleep, train, and ride my bike.
I just love the variety and high intensity that can prepare you for the unexpected, whether that's tubing with the kids, a 12 hour ruck event, or just moving stuff around at your house. HGX satisfies that personal desire to improve and also provides a competitive and supportive community. Having been involved in HGX for years, I am ready to impart some of that knowledge to you in a class or private session.
