Coaches

Lisa Shiu Luchansky

Head Coach & Owner

After studying exercise physiology at Ohio University, I decided that I wanted to spend my life spreading preventative medicine through exercise. I was introduced to CrossFit in 2009 in my friend’s garage gym and was sold instantly; I had found the perfect means. I appreciate CrossFit at every level. The competitive one is what initially drew me in, but CrossFit’s adaptability is what makes it so appealing to me. I can use the same methodology to train myself, my teenage clients, and my parents and we all come out fitter!

Doing whatever my wife tells me we’re doing.

Jackie Kendziorski

Favorite Crossfit movement?
All the squats! Especially Front squats

When did you start Crossfit?
April 1 2012. What a fool's day for me?! haha.

What is your favorite part of coaching?
My favorite part about coaching Crossfit is stepping up to the challenge of having so many different levels of athletes at one time. I enjoy learning as I lead and being able to help progression at all levels. Everyone learns differently and being able to connect and learn how each individual is best coached is my favorite.

If I’m not at the gym, you can find me…
Having some family fun with my twin sister and other siblings, or cheering on one of my beloved Ohio/Cleveland sports teams!

Heidi Knarr

Hang Power Clean

When did you start Crossfit?
I started CrossFit in January 2014, after much prompting from my husband.

What is your favorite part of coaching?
When I get to see the excitement of an athlete when something “clicks” or they reach that goal they’ve been working so hard for.

If I’m not at the gym, you can find me…
In the kitchen cooking for my family or baking.

What is your favorite part of coaching?
Helping people from all walks of life become part of the gym family and target their individual goals, whatever they may be!

Shooting things and setting stuff on fire!!!

Austin Ritts

Favorite Crossfit movement?
That is a tough one because there are so many fun ones! I love anything with a squat and also love handstand walks and rope climbs. I’m going to say they are all tied for first!

When did you start Crossfit?
I started in 2014 after I graduated high school and was missing high school sports. Crossfit filled that niche in my life of being active and involved in a close knit community!

What is your favorite part of coaching?
My favorite part about coaching is meeting and getting to know awesome and strong people that I get to see every single week

If I’m not at the gym, you can find me…
Reading a nice book or eating food! Most likely I will be eating food.

Josh Richards

Favorite Crossfit movement?
Snatch

When did you start Crossfit?
2014

What is your favorite part of coaching?
My favorite part of coaching is watching someone grow more confident in themselves and their abilities inside and outside of the gym because they put in the hard work and pushed themselves past the point of comfort in a workout or a movement.

If I’m not at the gym, you can find me…
At work or anywhere with friends of family.

Snatch

Started in 2008 out of SPC

What is your favorite part of coaching?
Watching people progress, and accomplishing movements/ lifts they didn’t think were possible prior to joining CrossFit.

Haley Billett

Favorite Crossfit movement?
Squat snatch and burpees

When did you start Crossfit?
I was an “every once in awhile” member in 2014 at CF SEO, then fully committed to consistency in 2017.

What is your favorite part of coaching?
It’s so inspiring to see members progress overtime and accomplish things they never thought were possible. The most special moments to me are when someone has a breakthrough moment and understands a cue that makes a movement feel easier. If I can make a persons day better from coaching a one hour class, my heart is happy!

If I’m not at the gym, you can find me…
Trying to DIY something in my house.

About
the Gym

2020 marked our 10 year anniversary!

All Heart CrossFit started as a small idea that was nurtured to fruition in the shared space of Kent Karate in 2010. Family told friends, friends told acquaintances, and it wasn’t long before we needed a space of our own. A non-descript warehouse on Crystal Parkway has been our home ever since.

We’ve been there as our OG crew graduated high school, moved off to college, and are now working, contributing in the big, real world. We’ve seen members meet, fall in love, and get married (including myself and my amazing husband!). We’ve trained ladies throughout their pregnancies and are now watching their kids turn the gym into their playground. We’ve got members who started with us before we were official and have stayed with us throughout all of the ups and downs of learning how to navigate a new business. We’ve grown a gym and gained a family in the process.

We have been blessed to have touched so many lives in our small little corner in Kent bringing not only fitness, but an appreciation for and belief in oneself. Helping people to realize their true potential beyond the walls of the gym has been our greatest accomplishment. Here’s to the future and helping to make it shine a little brighter!
