Bethany Cyr

Head Coach and co-owner of The Shop, I grew up in Ellsworth, Maine. I moved to Augusta in 2009. I joined a CrossFit gym in 2016. I fell in love with the community and the friendships it built. After a few years I wanted to get more involved. Coaching was a great fit for me. I have furthered seeking to improve my health and fitness through effective training with several CrossFit courses and certifications. As well as, many hours of coaching. From one-on-one to group classes I learn something new each time I coach. Health and Fitness for me is about the people, their individuality and the connections that are made.  So come join our fitness family.

Come meet ME at The Shop!

Vanessa Knipping

I was born in Connecticut and have been a Mainer for the past 20 years.  I found CrossFit in 2010 and after doing classes for a few months, I knew I wanted to coach others because of how CrossFit had impacted my life – creating a shift in mentality from “how I looked and how much I weighed” to having more strength-based goals.  I qualified for and competed at Regionals in 2014.  In 2016 I shifted my focus to powerlifting and competed at USAPL Powerlifting Nationals in 2017 and 2018. CrossFit continues to be an integral part of my training program and I have my sights set on being a Figure competitor. I am a girl mom, animal lover, wife, nutrition dork and Clinical Research Coordinator at the VA.  I love helping people along their fitness journey from the enthusiastic beginner to the seasoned competitor. Come meet ME at The Shop!

OUR STORY

The Shop was started by Beth and Shawn Cyr in the summer of 2020. What started out as a home gym built on steroids, turned into the weekend workout spot for Beth and Shawn's big group of CrossFit loving friends. After a year of fitness with friends Beth and Shawn decided to pursue their dream of owning a CrossFit gym. 

The Shop isn't just a place to come to workout. This is a place you come to build lifelong relationships. Beth, Shawn, and the rest of the staff here welcome everyone and it feels like a homecoming for most. The passion, the love for fitness and friends is what drives the heartbeat of the gym.
