Deb Austin
Owner / Sunshine Crossfit
Debra spent her whole life as an athlete, starting with gymnastics and swimming as a child, and continuing swimming Division I through college, where she first discovered her passion for strength and conditioning. While pursuing her Bachelor Degree in Athletic Training, she interned with her Strength and Conditioning coach, and started to love some of the Crossfit style workouts that were added in for conditioning. When she made the decision to continue her education by getting a Masters in Kinesiology at San Jose State University in California, the mecca of CrossFit, she looked for a new community and found one in her local CrossFit gym, quickly becoming a coach. While coaching in California for 8 years, she took multiple movement seminars and continuing education certifications, but after ten years in the Bay Area, she decided it was time to come back to the east coast to family and her roots. Debra enjoys applying the knowledge from her education to help people safely achieve goals while also preventing the injuries she studied.
