THE TEAM

Founder & Coach Amanda Alexander

Founder & Coach: CF-L1

Amanda Alexander

Amanda never imagined herself as a fitness enthusiast or gym owner. After realizing she needed to make a lifestyle change to prioritize health, she found her way to CrossFit 8 years ago.

After her home gym closed in 2022, she founded Southwest Training with a simple goal – creating a space where everyone, no matter their fitness level, feels genuinely welcome.

Her favorite thing about being a coach is watching people achieve their goals and seeing the joy it brings them.

When she’s not in the gym, you can find Amanda at the river with her dog Ollie, playing music with friends, or sipping lattes on the porch at Tantra.

Coach Eden Hansen

Coach: CF-L1, TGC-L1

Eden Hansen

Eden qualified for the CrossFit Games in 2024, and finished 25th in her division. In the off season this year, Eden is hanging out at Texas Barbell and competing in Olympic weightlifting.

She enjoys coaching group classes and loves celebrating the little wins with our members. Eden holds a CF-L1 and TGC-L1 certification. When she’s not in the gym, she’s on campus at Texas State, in the kitchen scheming, or taking a well deserved nap.

Coach Sarah Hansen

Coach: OPEX CCP

Sarah Hansen

Sarah has a passion for teaching folks individually and tailoring programming to their specific needs. That focus led her to earn her OPEX CCP certification. Sarah loves working with women 40+ that are experiencing hormonal changes. You'll hear her preach the power of protein regularly.

She’s been doing CrossFit for 10+ years, and really enjoys helping clients make progress toward their personal goals. When she’s not in the gym, you can find her sipping lattes, hanging at a brewery, or on the trail with her family.

Coach Noah

Coach: CF- L1

Noah Islas

Noah's background is in track and cross country. He's currently training for a triathlon and has been competing at Hyrox competitions nonstop.

Noah has his CF-L1 cert, and has a passion for helping people find joy in fitness. When he’s not in the gym, you can find him chilling with his dog or running the streets of San Marcos.
Coach Cassie

Coach: USAW-L1

Cassie McClure

Cassie is our resident Olympic weightlifting pro. She's on the Texas State Weightlifting team, and has qualified for University Nationals and U23 this year. She has her USAW-L1 cert with plans on getting her L-2 this year.

Cassie has been in the Crossfit space for 5 years, and recently competed in the Hyrox relay division. When she’s not at the gym, you can find her doodling and studying art.
