Our Team
Grace Lin, Owner and Head Trainer
CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, CrossFit Gymnastics, USA Weightlifting Sports Performance, FreeStyle Movement
Grace found CrossFit in 2012 and joined CFCH in 2013. She has been involved in sports from a young age, including softball, basketball, track, and golf. During college, she stayed active by participating in various intramural sports. In her senior year, she competed and placed 3rd in her first half marathon. She has a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Missouri and a Master's in BioEngineering from Rice University.
Within a few months of joining CFCH, Grace found herself drawn to coaching and teaching people about holistic fitness and nutrition. She spends much (probably too much) of her free time nerding out on weightlifting and gymnastic drills, mobility, nutrition and anything health related. She is on the endless pursuit to challenge and inspire people to become the best version of themselves.
Logan Clarke, Owner and Trainer
CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, CrossFit Masters, CrossFit Gymnastics, USA Weightlifting Sports Performance, CrossFit Aerobic Endurance
Logan, a former disgruntled investment banker and sporting goods retailer, found CrossFit in early 2009. With some friends, he opened a CrossFit affiliate in 2011. Logan has coached everything from first time exercisers to multi-year CrossFit Games athletes. There isn’t much he hasn’t seen or done in CrossFit.
A native Houstonian and resident of nearby Southside Place, Logan believes it is very important to understand the difference between CrossFit as a fitness methodology and CrossFit as a sport. He loves both sides of CrossFit and can help you with whatever your personal fitness goals are.
Jaime Robles, Trainer
CrossFitLevel 1 Trainer
Jaime is a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and runs the Endurance class at CFCH. He came to Houston from Matamoros, Mexico, to study chemical engineering at Rice, and has been in Houston ever since. He has participated in basketball, baseball, and soccer since he was young, and did the “back and bi's, chest and tri's, who needs leg day?” routine in college. He was in a fitness rut for a few years after graduating, until CFCH opened up 3 minutes from his house. What drew Jaime into CrossFit is how the constantly varied programming simultaneously develops mentally and physically strong individuals while also creating a strong sense of community. His main goal is to help athletes find and surpass their limits both on and off the gym floor.
His hobbies include playing with his adorable pit bulls, homebrewing, cooking (and eating!), mobilizing, and watching back-to-back-to-back reruns of past CrossFit Games.
Ashley Grubbs, Trainer
CrossFit Level 1 Trainer
Ashley has been coaching CrossFit since 2017. Before coaching CrossFit, she was a gymnastics coach for 13 years. She took a break from coaching gymnastics for a few years and found her love for it again through CrossFit. One of her favorite parts of coaching is seeing the stages and transformations that someone goes through that has never stepped foot in a gym. Being a part of changing someone’s day to day life through fitness is a true passion that she discovered many years ago. Besides being passionate about coaching and fitness, she also owns a home organizing, design, and cleaning business, she loves dogs more than chocolate, and traveling!
Julia Avery, Trainer
CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, Power Monkey Fitness Camp, Catalyst Athletics Level 1 Seminar
Julia grew up in Houston, attended Duke University to pursue a degree in Economics, and after graduation made her way to NYC for an Investor Relations job. Having done gymnastics as a kid, she always had a passion for fitness, but it wasn’t until she started doing CrossFit in 2012 that she really considered making it her career. What started out as a personal blog to share her workouts and recipes soon led her to an instructor position at a HIIT studio in NYC. In 2013, after about 6 months of straddling both the corporate and fitness worlds, she decided to take the leap and work in fitness full time. In 2016, Julia moved to the Cayman Islands, where she spent 3 years coaching, personal training, and running a HIIT program at a CrossFit gym. She is now back in Houston and has started a coaching business to help others that want to turn their love of fitness into a career. Julia loves seeing people achieve things they didn’t think were possible before walking into the gym. She is forever impressed by and grateful for clients' willingness to be vulnerable in an environment that can be new and intimidating.
Emily Steinman, Trainer
CrossFit Level 2 Trainer
From a young age, Emily has been fascinated by the human body and passionate about health and fitness. She decided to turn that fascination into a career by moving from her home town of Sant Antonio to Houston to study Biology at the University of Houston. While in school, Emily started CrossFit in October 2016 and immediately fell in love with the sport. Thanks to CrossFit, she realized that her true goals and passions were more in line with fitness and nutrition and switched her studies to Kinesiology.
When Emily isn’t training, coaching, or studying, she is busy working as a chiropractic assistant and being a mom to her son and two dogs. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her two partners, dancing, and cooking.
Cameron Miller, Trainer
CrossFit Level 1 Trainer
Cameron took an interest to sports and fitness at a young age. He later went on to pursue a degree in exercise physiology and played baseball while attending Baylor University. During his time at Baylor he worked as a student assistant strength and condition coach for the Baylor Basketball team, where he aided in coaching and program analysis.
When Cameron moved back to Houston the “bro gym” he used to attend didn’t cut it anymore. He missed the team environment and the push that college athletics provided. That’s when he joined CFCH. He connected with the environment and community that CrossFit and especially CFCH takes pride in. Cameron is passionate about improving the health and overall well being of others, and being able to watch members improve and reach their fitness goals.
Kasie Tedrick, Trainer
