Founder’s Story

Lauren Rottier owner of CrossFit Dwell

Karen will be the first to tell you that she wasn’t an athlete growing up. As a kid, she loved reading, music, and theater, not sports. In college she dabbled in running, and as a young mom she tried a few YMCA classes, but a discouraging boot-camp experience left her...
