About TeamLift Gym

Jaryd currently works in operations for a Planet Fitness franchise where he runs 80 clubs across the United States. He’s been doing crossfit for over 10 years and has been a part of numerous crossfit gym communities, and has also spent time focusing on olympic weightlifting more recently. Jaryd is excited to get to know the community here, expand the opportunities available for everyone, and apply the knowledge and skills he has obtained from his previous experience in various gym spaces. During his free time you will catch him in his car at the racetrack or on road trips across the North East with his girlfriend, Lauren. Jaryd will be a regular member at the early morning classes and is looking forward to getting his CrossFit Level 1 certification and eventually coaching as well.

Originally from New Jersey, Lauren has spent most of her adult life in Massachusetts and Connecticut. A lifelong athlete, she played varsity tennis, basketball, and softball in high school and continued her tennis career at the collegiate Division II level, while working towards her MS in Forensic Psychology. She has also coached middle school tennis and high school track and field. Lauren holds her CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and USA Weightlifting certifications. She was drawn to CrossFit because of its ability to build strength, confidence, and resilience both inside and outside the gym. As a coach, she loves helping athletes of all experience levels reach goals they never thought possible. As a mom, Lauren is especially passionate about supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum, helping them stay active, strong, and confident throughout their fitness journey.

James is a dedicated fitness professional with a passion for active living. Having played football and lacrosse in his youth, he has always maintained a high level of physical activity. For over ten years, he has been committed to his own fitness as a practitioner of CrossFit, recently achieving his Level 1 CrossFit Training certification. Outside of fitness, James enjoys hiking and cooking with his family, and raising his two young children. He is excited to share his knowledge and become a reliable resource for others on their fitness journeys.

Patrick has been part of the CrossFit and functional fitness community since 2013 and has been coaching since 2020. A lifelong athlete, Patrick grew up playing soccer and continued competing throughout high school and college. After his playing days ended, he was looking for a way to stay active, competitive, and challenge himself—and found that outlet in CrossFit. Since then, his fitness journey has included everything from Olympic lifting and functional fitness to completing the Boston Marathon in 2019. As a coach, Patrick loves helping people work toward and accomplish their goals, both inside and outside of the gym. Whether someone is walking into the gym for the first time or chasing their next PR, he enjoys helping athletes build confidence, push themselves, and have some fun along the way. Outside of TeamLift, Patrick works at Bryant University. When he’s not at work or in the gym, he enjoys staying active and spending time with his wife and two kids.
