Meet your coaches.

Mig wasn’t a lifelong athlete. She grew up active and loving sports, but after school she became a mom and, like a lot of moms, put herself last. When her son was six weeks old, she weighed 187 pounds and her doctor told her she was pre-diabetic. With a long family history of diabetes and hypertension, she was headed for insulin for the rest of her life, just like the people she loved. So she decided to change, and walked into her first CrossFit class. That decision changed her life, and it’s why Praise exists.

CrossFit is also where Mig found her athletic potential, later in life than most. She competed and won competitions, did well in the CrossFit Open, and made the Masters age group qualifiers. It’s proof of what she tells every member: it’s never too late to find out what you’re capable of.

She coached for nine years at CrossFit Siege, built a nutrition program from the ground up at another gym, and then started coaching out of a longtime member’s garage. Nine months later, Praise Athletics opened its doors. Building it as a woman business owner and a single mom of two teenage boys has been a true labor of love.

Mig has coached since 2012: NFL athletes, Paralympic and CrossFit Games athletes, kids, new moms, and members in their 70s. As a coach she’s precise and all business, because she cares. She doesn’t want anyone getting hurt, and she believes fitness is for everyone, with every movement adapted to the person in front of her.

Funny, no-nonsense, and all about results. Lala is a mom of two who knows what it takes to make time for yourself. She has coached glute-focused training since 2022 and brought Booty by Lala to Praise in July 2026. Her classes use compound movements and progressive overload to build real strength through the glutes, hips, and hamstrings, week after week.
