Terri Gonzalez

Terri is a first generation Vietnamese American, born in Dallas, and raised in Houston, TX. During middle school, she was active in volleyball, basketball, cross country, and track while also working at her parent’s seafood restaurant. She discovered Crossfit in 2011 as the last piece of her health recovery after being diagnosed with a gluten allergy in 2009. After 6 months, she found herself gravitating towards helping others learn about mobility, increasing range of motion, and sharing her health recovery journey. She received her Level 1 and Level 2 and coached On Ramp sessions, mobility, and Saturday classes at Skyline Crossfit in Houston for 7 years. It is at Skyline Crossfit where she met her husband Ozzie in 2014 and he proposed at Friday Night Lights for 15.3. She didn’t get a muscle up that night, but she did get a ring. She has been consistent with Crossfit through all 5 pregnancies and the birth of her 3 girls: Cecilia, Anna, and Sofia. She moved to Katy, TX at the end of 2019 and joined Crossfit Katy where she is a familiar face in the evening 4:30 PM class. She has participated in every open since 2011, even through her pregnancies. Burpees is her favorite movement and in fact, it is through burpees that she knows when she is pregnant. Kicking up into a handstand and double unders are her favorite movements to teach since she enjoys helping and watching members get stronger, more confident, and more capable. Her coaching style is approachable, encouraging, and patient but she can get geeky and technical if you want. If you have questions about progressions or movement, please ask her, she likes to flex her creativity in tailoring to you specifically.
