• Cassi is the most knowledgeable coach I have ever worked with. Through injury she coached me to be the best and strongest version of myself. She always focused on what I could do and challenged me to move beyond my limitations by finding a challenging and safe path forward.

    As a nutrition coach, Cassi is deeply committed to helping you achieve attainable and maintainable goals. She listens with her whole heart and understands how to get you to where you want to be. Through the bumps, through the personal baggage, through it all, Cassi listens and supports you as a coach, mentor, and friend.

    My life is better having worked with Cassi and I look forward to many, many more years together!

  • If there is anyone I owe my nutrition journey to, it is Coach Cassi. Her new adventure (Saltbox Athletics) is going to be amazing.

    Anyone that works with Saltbox Athletics will know why immediately.

  • I started CrossFit the year before I turned 50, wanting to up my general fitness game.

    I soon found Cassi and over these years have learned SO much about setting (and crushing!) goals, nutrition, mindset, when to rest, and much more.

    I'd never done a push up before and now they are a regular part of my workouts - and now we're coming for you pull ups!

    Cassi is a remarkably talented, hardworking, organized coach, and is just plain fun to spend time with.

    She has a deep intuition for programming that always amazes me, consistently keeping it fresh and hitting that sweet spot of leaving everything I've got on the mat, without overdoing or injury.

    I love the new TrueCoach app for Custom Programming. It lets our communication be nimble. From the client end, it's like having a very wise and awesome best friend checking & tracking you + cheering you on after each workout. If I ever have a question or need to shift something, She is ON IT!

    I can't recommend working with Cassi more highly, you'd be truly lucky to be coached by her - now nearing my 58th birthday I've never been in better shape in my adult life. For reals.

  • I just did a workout with over 100 toes to bar mixed with snatches, rowing and wall balls — and I did every single one of them!

    A year ago that wouldn’t have even been a thought.

  • Saltbox Athletics and Cassi are the reason I came back stronger after breaking my back.

    Coach Cassi worked with my PTs and built a program to strengthen my body from the inside out.

    I’m leaner, stronger, and I know my body better than I ever have. She’s the reason I’m able to run, lift and recover!

  • Saltbox Athletics couldn't have come at a better time for me. I was in a rut, physically and mentally, with workouts. I was in a negative spiral of struggling to find the time to get to the gym, then feeling guilty that I hadn't carved out time to workout, which then made it harder for me to jump back into working out because I felt like I wasn't able to "catch up" with the programming.

    Cassi heard my concerns during our initial meeting, and her programming has been spot on. It's been challenging and yet accessible, to where she's brought back the freakin' joy in working out, a state I couldn't see a path to getting back to before working with her.

    Cassi's programming feels perfectly tailored to my goals and lifestyle, and I'm so grateful to be working with her!

  • Cassi uses her vast knowledge and experience to curate fitness programs for any body, in any stage of fitness. Whether it’s a movement regression or progression, injury, prenatal or postpartum training, Cassi ensures you get a safe and effective workout in.

    My personal experience with Cassi was after a labrum repair to my shoulder. When the CrossFit program was impossible to complete with one arm in a sling, Cassi got creative and used her expertise to program workouts that made sure I wouldn’t miss a beat.

    Thanks to my personalized programming I was able to return to my physical job a month ahead of my post l-surgical schedule.

    Aside from the physical benefits, you are gaining a lifelong support system, as she leads her programming with empathy and kindness.

  • I started working with Cassi in June 2022. I'd decided to pursue solo training again as I really enjoy it, and it best enables me to listen to my body. I'd learned that I needed to incorporate maintainence PT exercises into my weekly training to keep my shoulder healthy, and I was also looking to work on specific movements. Enter Cassi.

    I'm grateful to have her as my coach, and I love the customized programming she writes for me which is tailored to my goals. Cassi's programming is both fun and challenging, and I have experienced steady and *real* progress. Everything Cassi programs for me has a reason behind it, and I love that. I know that each programmed movement and workout is a part of a greater path and plan. It's enabled me to relax and just enjoy showing up to train.

  • I cannot say enough how transformative it has been working with Saltbox. As a former competitive rugby player who retired from the world of contact sports into doing recreational CrossFit, and have now switched to a stage in my life where I just want to feel fit, strong, and confident in myself, I cannot get over how absolutely amazing Saltbox Athletics has been through every stage of my journey and growth. Everything from handling my own health struggles and recoveries to addressing what it is that I want from my workouts and fitness and incorporating that into workouts that are actually fun and I look forward to!

  • 5 STARS to describe Cassi’s skills is a drop in the bucket.

    I’ve been working with Cassi for 7+ years (with no plans to stop) because her kindness, attention, patience, smarts and business ethics are vast + impeccable. I recommend her without hesitation.

    You will be very happy with your health + fitness if you are lucky enough to work with Cassi.

  • Cassi is hands down, one of the absolute BEST!

    Her programming is top notch, but that’s not what sets her apart from other coaches. Cassi goes above and beyond to teach, communicate + support.

    The way she treats her clients is what makes her a COACH, not just a trainer. When Cassi says she wants the best for you and to help you reach your goals, she absolutely means it (and her actions prove it).

  • Cassi designed programming for me as I eased back into exercise following a medical issue. She helped me become stronger in a safe way, all while encouraging me and listening to my feedback.

    When you work with Cassi, you never feel alone — she knows her stuff technically, but it's her attention to detail and kindness that set her apart. I can't recommend working with Cassi enough; she is an absolute bright spot in the fitness world.

  • Working with Cassi has truly changed my relationship with working out and fitness. As I deal with chronic knee issues, she adapts my programming depending on how I am feeling and, actually, encourages me to reach out more to make my workouts supportive to my joint health! Her extensive knowledge and ability to adjust in new and meaningful ways never ceases to amaze me. Sometimes it is a small adjustment and other days it is completely refocusing the workout but the impact is HUGE!

    Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable but also her genuine care and compassion makes you want to succeed as well! I work out for my health, sure, but I also push myself to be accountable to her! She never pressures you but you feel a true partnership with her dedication and support. I cannot thank her enough! I look forward to my workouts because of Cassi!

  • If I had to describe working with Cassi in one word, it would be "balance". Balance between having a coach who pushes you to do things you weren't sure you could do, and having a cheerleader who supports you no matter what kind of day you're having. Balance between keeping the overall goal in mind, and doing work each day that is responsive to where you are and what will be most useful in that moment. Working with Cassi has led to big and exciting improvements in my fitness, and I've had a ton of fun along the way, which is the best kind of balance, I think.

Fitness & Nutrition Client Stories.

Pregnant & Postpartum Client Stories.

  • I can’t thank Cassi enough for helping me transition back to exercise and movement after giving birth to my first child! I started working with her about 2 months postpartum. Her knowledge about postpartum safe exercise approaches and appropriate movements really helped ease me back to moving my body!

    I did 30 minute virtual personal training sessions with her on zoom since I was home with my newborn baby. Those 30 min sessions were perfect, kept me accountable and were also practical since leaving the house to go to a gym was not really possible for me. Cassi was totally cool with my baby being present during the workouts and even encouraged me to use my baby as extra weight during squats if she wanted to be held.

    My husband also joined for some of the sessions as a drop in on certain days between his busy work schedule. Cassi makes working out so accessible to anyone and whatever equipment you have at home!

    I’ve since transitioned to Cassi programming workouts for me in her app, which is so user friendly. She’s truly one of the kindest, flexible, and most knowledgeable coaches I’ve worked with! I’m always sore in a good way after a session with Cassi. I’m almost 5 months postpartum and back to doing sit ups and some light running. My core and pelvic floor are feeling great. She has an impressive ability to customize workouts to her clients needs. I highly recommend working with her.

  • Cassi is a gem of a being and an exemplary coach. I was having a really difficult time motivating myself to work out. I had gone from working out 5-6 times a week prior to the world shutting down, to then having a baby!

    I've had fits and starts of trying to get back into the gym, but our schedule is wildly unpredictable, still, and making it consistently to a scheduled class just wasn't realistic. Cue Cassi.

    Never did I ever think I'd be excited to do home workouts, but Cassi's excellent programming, incredibly specific suggestions and modifications, and curated time domains make it so that I've been able to reliably do the workouts, which I didn't think could happen with a toddler!

    It's been especially beneficial to work with Cassi as someone who knows intimately what it's like to navigate the complexities of returning to athletics postpartum, both physically and mentally.

    Finally, Cassi is an amazing human being, and I know that she's always in my corner.

  • After giving birth to my son via c-section in February 2022 and returning to work, I knew it was time to get back to taking care of myself.

    Between working full-time and taking care of a baby, I didn’t have the time, energy or motivation to go to a gym multiple times a week. This is when I reached out to Cassi. She listened to me and gets me, (especially as a new mom herself). She could relate to my post-partum body, my limited time and that I would need to start slow. She completely customized a plan that works for ME. Everything from the movements to the time commitment is truly tailored to me.

    Her accountability is top-notch; she is hilarious, supportive and understanding and I truly want to work-out now! I look forward to seeing the plan she puts together for me weekly and love the videos that go along with it! She checks in frequently and has adjusted work-outs when I have had a small injury or sickness.

    I can honestly say that without Cassi, I wouldn't have remained this consistent. I cannot recommend her enough!

  • Cassi is a responsive and supportive coach and personal trainer.

    I worked with her during pregnancy and postpartum and she helped to customize workouts for me both in person and virtually that made me feel strong and stay active during a really intense time in my life.

    I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend working with Saltbox Athletics!

  • When I was on maternity leave, I knew I was going to need help to get into shape.

    Not "back in" - because I couldn't remember the last time I had a reliable routine - but just IN, for the first time in a long time. And with how hectic life can be, I was not sure where to begin. Fortunately, I saw Cassi's personal training services at Saltbox Athletics recommended on a local mom's group.

    I reached out, and from our first conversation, I could tell that Cassi -- with her warm, motivational approach AND her own experience as a working mom -- was going to both *get me* and get me where I want to be. I have not been disappointed. She uses her blend of fitness prowess, listening skills, and empathy to find the perfect balance between meeting me where I'm at and pushing me to new heights.

    I have done her in-person training, Zoom training, and the at-home programming and throughout every stage, Cassi has cheered me on and helped me get stronger. I recommended her to my mom and my pre-wedding friend and am really thrilled to recommend her to you, too!

  • Cassi is an incredible personal trainer who really understood what I wanted and where I was in my fitness journey. She created a plan that was just right for me and helped me achieve realistic goals in an attainable way. Cassi went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, always accommodating my hectic baby-filled and back-to-work schedule.

    Her empathy and kindness made a huge difference, especially for new postpartum moms like me. Her motivation and accountability were exactly what I needed during my journey back into fitness after giving birth. Cassi's support and encouragement are fantastic—she lifts you up and encourages you to be your best. I had not lifted heavy weights in a long time, but with Cassi's help, I've reached levels I never thought I could again.

    Cassi's encouragement and support have been transformative for me. She's not just my trainer; she's a true friend who genuinely cares about my success. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and inspiring personal trainer, I can't recommend Cassi enough.
