JULIA HENNIG

I grew up in northern Germany and came to Fairbanks, Alaska in 2010 to continue my studies at UAF. As a child and teenager my sports were judo and swimming. Living near the ocean, summers were spent at the beach windsurfing and working as a lifeguard. In college I tried different sports and started weightlifting.  

My profession brought me to California for a couple of years, and when I returned to Alaska and was unable to find a job in my field, I decided to become a certified personal trainer at Body Renew. Shortly after, in 2016, I found CrossFit. My first workout at CrossFit Anchorage was “Nancy”. I have never looked back since. I started coaching in 2017.  

I love that CrossFit brings all generations together for the same workout, and there is always room for improvement, no matter what your skill level.  

I joined CrossFit Northern Exposure in 2023. The experience and coaching skills that the other coaches bring to the classes, and the opportunity to learn from them, is what makes me proud to be part of the team.
