Heather Matheson-Ramer
Coach, CrossFit Rx
From: West Palm Beach, FL

Heather has been coaching CrossFit since June 2022 and brings a rich and diverse fitness background. Growing up, she competed in gymnastics until she was 16, followed by two years of high school cheerleading, a year of lacrosse, and some intramural sports during grad school. She has been a practicing Doctor of Physical Therapy since 2010, which complements her passion for teaching and coaching.

Her love for CrossFit developed over nearly a decade as an athlete, and she decided to combine that passion with her skills as a PT. Her favorite CrossFit movements are deadlifts and pull-ups, where she excels, though she’s also grown to appreciate the snatch for its complexity and beauty.

Her advice to new members? "Check your pride at the door. Learn the proper movement patterns first and worry about intensity later." She values the strong sense of community at CrossFit Rx and cherishes the connections with her gym family.

One of Heather’s proudest achievements is continuing to hit personal records in her 40s—proof that fitness has no age limit. With a history in gymnastics and CrossFit Gymnastics, she brings a unique skill set to coaching.

Fun Fact: Heather finds it hard to sit still through an entire movie and would prefer not to own a TV!
