Head Coach
Jasmine Gerritsen Coach of CrossFit In Jamaica Plain

Jasmine has been an avid mover since she was little, attempting to climb fences she definitely should not have climbed and digging holes in the backyard to feel like a warrior. In high school and college, Jasmine played basketball, track and field, cross country, and practiced martial arts. CrossFit came into the picture when her basketball coach fought for the girls team to use the weight room. The second Jasmine awkwardly picked up the barbell she knew she would trade traditional sports for the sport of fitness. A former English and ELL teacher, she makes it her focus to foster a welcoming and accessible gym space for everyone. Her other interests include reading queer young adult novels, dancing to reggaeton, and drinking copious amounts of tea.
