About Us

Panda CrossFit Lab is a community-driven CrossFit gym built on one simple mission: to help people live happier and healthier lives. We believe fitness is about more than fitness — it's about consistency, connection, and coaching that treats every member like family, not a number on an attendance sheet. We're growing, and we're looking for a passionate coach who wants to grow with us.

Our Values

- Community over competition — we celebrate progress at every level, not just the fittest in the room
- People first, policy second — rules exist to protect the community, and we lead with empathy before enforcement
- Coaching is relationship-building — we know our members' names, stories, and goals, not just their numbers
- Consistency builds trust — every member gets the same quality of coaching, no matter who's on the floor
- Growth mindset, always — for members and coaches alike, always learning, always improving

If these values resonate with you, we'd love to hear from you.

We're looking for a Strength & Conditioning / CrossFit Coach to lead engaging, safe, and effective group classes alongside personal training sessions,
