The Team
Natalie Polutta
Owner
From my earliest memories, I have been involved in fitness. My mother did aerobic dance, and I would “participate” on the sidelines. I started taking that class as a young teen, and started teaching classes at 15. My fitness journey was consistent throughout my adult years. The benefits of working out are some of my greatest joys. Even with my fitness history, I was nervous about participating at the local CrossFit gym. Despite my concerns that I wouldn’t be able to do the workouts, I gave it a shot. Ultimately, I fell in love with the classes, and I was so excited to gain strength. I also was blessed by the community and encouragement I found at the gym. This kind of experience is a gift for every type of person. Finally, I love that we can help anyone achieve fitness at their own level through modifications and scaling of individual movements. I earned my CF-L1 Certification as well as a Group Fitness Instructor Certification through ACE Fitness. It is a passion of mine to help people in the Kennesaw and Acworth areas succeed in their fitness goals and, as an owner of CrossFit Dwell, I would love to help you!
Lauren Rottier
Owner/Head Coach
Growing up, I was the most unathletic person you could find. I avoided anything to do with competition or physical exertion, and my diet consisted of a variety of processed foods and sodas. My dad discovered CrossFit in 2007, and, with his encouragement, I tried a few workouts by myself. While I liked the feeling of accomplishment it brought, my training was sporadic at best. In 2015, I decided it was time to take my fitness more seriously. I received my CrossFit Level 1 certification and joined a local gym all in the same month. I fell in love with the community and methodology, and I realized a passion for helping others reach their goals, both through increasing physical fitness and strength, and by building resilience through mindset. Since then, I have become a CrossFit Level 2 trainer, and I have worked with a wide variety of clients in Kennesaw to help them define their goals and then take the steps to reach them. My goal as owner and coach is to improve lives through effective coaching and encouragement, no matter what stage of fitness an athlete is in currently. I believe in this program and have seen the positive changes it has brought to people’s lives. The work is worth it, and you’ll have our amazing community backing you the entire way.
Tiffany Hicks
Coach
I have always found contentment in a mix of exercise. From high school swimming to my first Buns of Steel video to running my first marathon, as well as many years of ALTA and USTA tennis. As I got older, I desired to see real and measurable changes in my body and my performance. That is when I found CrossFit. After seeing amazing changes in the way I looked and felt from the instruction and training I was receiving from the coaches here, I knew I wanted to help others work towards their goals. I would say I fell in love with the programming and methodology of functional training. I have earned my CF-L2 Certification as well as my Precision Nutrition Level-1 Certification. I’m looking forward to helping you with your nutrition to complement your fitness goals! I truly love showing anyone & everyone that even if they think they can’t, they actually can.
Keo Siharath
Coach
My fitness journey began as a kid when I first started watching sports like football, basketball, baseball and especially the Olympics. I was instantly amazed at the athleticism of those professional athletes, and I wanted to do it all. Growing up, I participated in various school sports such as football, basketball, soccer, and track & field. After high school, I joined the Army, and fitness became an important part of my life. When I was in the military academy, I had the opportunity to lead my team’s morning PT workout sessions & stretches. After my career in the Army was completed, I found my love for coaching youth soccer where I spent over six years coaching various age groups. In 2015, my then girlfriend, and now wife, introduced me to CrossFit. I quickly found out that I needed to step up my game and instantly knew CrossFit was the key to improving my fitness! In 2019, I decided that I wanted to learn more about the CrossFit methodology. I eventually completed the Level 1 Trainer Certificate Course and later became a coach at my gym in Atlanta. Unfortunately, after having major back surgery and seeing my gym shutdown during the pandemic, three years later, I found myself overweight and my priorities shifted away from my health. Fast forward to November 2023… When I first walked into CrossFit Dwell, I weighed 250 lbs. and knew I needed a change. I took small steps and stuck to the process of their programming, found consistency, focused on better habits, and eventually lost over 40 lbs. within a year! Now, I coach at CrossFit Dwell and recently completed my Level 2 Trainer Certificate Course, along with many other credentials. I’m working every day to be a healthier version of myself for my family and my community. I look forward to coaching people of all ages. It doesn’t matter if you are 4 or 104+. Let’s work together to achieve your personal goals. I want to help you get your first pull up, climb a rope or crush your old PRs. Without CrossFit, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Stronger. Healthier. Humbled. More capable of taking on the stress of everyday life. The first step is never easy, but that first step is what I love to help people take. Let’s celebrate the small wins and live to lift another day!
Take the first step.
