Our Coaches
Crystal Joy McReynolds
Crystal committed to a life of fitness at the ripe ole age of 15! This eventually led to a degree in Kinesiology, and a full-time coaching role in the Crossfit community. She understands the balance between fitness and fun. If she wasn't following her passion as a full-time fitness fanatic, her dream job would be island hopping and getting paid as a full time traveling DJ hosting the best dance parties around! Crystal’s love for people and pursuing optimal health led her into coaching 14 years ago and she hasn't looked back. Crystal believes that the power created when teaching women about movement and nutrition is her driving force to continue spreading the word. Her role as a coach is to provide clarity on how to properly fuel your body while maximizing your results in the gym.
Jana Bermudez
Jana is a native Texan (originally from Austin) who was transplanted to Santa Marta, Colombia in 2017. She’s a proud Aggie, with a degree in Community Health Education, and the majority of her professional experience covers different aspects of health; working in gyms as yoga and cycling instructor while also providing mental health case management for nonprofit organizations. Jana has 4 kids, ranging from ages 21 to 11, and has maintained most of her sanity throughout their lives.
She comes to our community as a lover of all things endurance; triathlons, trail running, mountain biking, and long yoga practices. Her experience, love, and passion for plant-based nutrition is a core strength for our team.
Chandra McReynolds
Chandra is originally from the Panhandle of Texas where she became a licensed Cosmetologist. During her time there, she met her husband Terrel (Crystal’s bro) and had her first son Kingston. She also began a dedication for health and fitness in her life. This expanded quickly into a passion for all the baby mama's out there who MOM so hard! While in Lubbock, Chandra began training personal and group classes at a functional style fitness garage gym, which she and her husband were part owners of.
Chandra left Lubbock in 2016 and moved her fam to Rockwall (just east of Dallas) where she had her 2nd son, Jude. This only expanded her vision of helping new, and not so new moms, gain back or create their life of fit activity and healthy well being. Chandra does continue to be the jack of all trades, as she is still active with her cosmetology, personal training, being a wife and mother, and a part time preschool teacher! Due to all this activity she knows how to actively engage fitness in a VERY busy lifestyle and loves sharing and teaching how to do so with any women and men who are around to learn. Chandra is super excited to serve and accompany you on your journey to a more happy, healthy and fit YOU!
Chris Gaussiran
Chris is a mom of two grown sons (age 22 and 26) and a late-blooming masters athlete, personal trainer and wellness coach. She transformed herself and her life through fitness and the community she discovered when she found CrossFit in her mid-40s. Now 59, she has a passion for sharing her message with other women that it's never too late to change course, to reinvent yourself, and to live your best life. Chris loves working with women who are navigating the shifting sands of midlife and menopause and believes movement, strength training and nutrition are the keys to an active, vibrant life at any age.
And a fun fact: Crystal was one of Chris' first coaches at the very beginning of her fitness journey! What started as a coach-client relationship grew into a lasting friendship and now, over a decade later, Chris is excited and honored to be a part of the Joy Lab team working with her friend and Joy Lab founder to help other women build confidence in themselves, realize their strength, and live their best lives.
