Trainer/Staff Bio

Catherine (or Erin as many of you know her) was born and raised right outside of Jacksonville, FL. After graduating with a degree in finance from the University of North Florida she relocated to San Diego, CA. She spent 5 years with Wells Fargo as a home equity account executive and personal banker. After her time with Wells Fargo she spent 8 years with LPL Financial and became a Certified Retirement Plan Specialist. When the opportunity presented itself in 2018 she transitioned from her financial career to working full time at TITLE as the general manager. Four years later, she finally got the courage to step into the bag stand with the mic.

When Catherine isn’t at TITLE she’s busy shuttling her daughters back and forth between school and all of their activities. She loves to travel, she loves visiting Disneyland and the San Diego Zoo (with or without her kids), and she loves any excuse to plan a party. Catherine is married to the co-owner, Corey and together they have two daughters, Cameryn and Cara, and two dogs, Sasha and Blaire. Blaire can be found most days at TITLE lounging on our couch.

My personal mantra

Let go of fear, let go of worry, let go of doubt.

My training style is:

heart

My why:

Every day I watch people walk out of class breathing heavy, red in the face, dripping in sweat, exhausted as hell, but they still have HUGE smiles on their faces. They walk out saying, "I needed that!" I want to be the person that makes our members feel that way.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

All of the amazing trainers that I am surrounded by every day; they inspire me to give my all in each class. And of course my daughters, without them I would have no purpose in life.

Nate has over ten years of experience in both martial arts and fitness. He holds a record of 3-0 in the 145lb MMA division and recently the 145lb 2016 National Tournament Champion. Nate likes to think of his training style as you have to be as fast as you are strong and flexible as you are stable.  The physical change will also be determined by what you do and the lifestyle you choose to live. With that being said, if there were to be a zombie apocalypse right now, would you survive?

Trainer/Staff Bio

Growing up, Crystal was always very active and played just about every sport possible with a particular passion for basketball, which led to coaching 3rd through 6th graders throughout her high school and college years. After college, she joined rec leagues to stay active but never found that place or team that ignited the spark she used to know, or provided a place that felt like she belonged. For years, she struggled with her personal challenges, and was in a low place until her friend, Karina, brought her into TITLE one day in 2015 to let off some steam….Crystal has been here ever since. TITLE is her home, her safe place, and where she has found her passion.

With the hope to give back to others what TITLE has given to me, my aim is for members is to have a place to go when they need a sense of family, community, and most importantly, where they can be their authentic selves.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

My niece, Mina, is my drive to set the example in and out of the gym and continue to grow and be the best version of myself.
