Local Crossfit Owner and Coach strives to help the entire community grow mentally and physically stronger
Prescott Woman Magazine interviewed Irene Smith, Owner and Coach of CrossFit Prescott Valley and member of the Prescott Valley Chamber of Commerce. We learned about how much she values personal connections.
PWM: For how long have you been a member of the Prescott Valley Chamber of Commerce?
Irene: We have been members of the chamber with our CrossFit Gym since 2020.
PWM: Tell us about what brought you to the Prescott area.
Irene: I moved from Florida to Prescott after my job transferred me to their Prescott location. Having lived in Phoenix, I knew I wanted to return to Arizona. Now, I co-own CrossFit Prescott Valley Fitness and Nutrition with my husband Paul and work as a CrossFit L2 and Nutrition Coach, while also pursuing a certification in Hormone Nutrition.
PWM: What about the Prescott Valley Chamber is different from other organizations in the area, and what do you personally enjoy best about being part of it?
Irene: The PV Chamber genuinely cares for its community and small business owners. They want to enhance the lives of the community and help business owners come together and thrive while creating a better place for the public.
PWM: Do you serve in any additional roles within the Chamber?
Irene: I just recently became an ambassador and love meeting new people, talking with fellow ambassadors, and volunteering for events.
PWM: Do you have family here? Children? Other activities in which you participate?
Irene: I live with my husband and our three fur babies: Marley, Willow, and Izzy. We hope to start a family soon and enjoy spending time with my husband’s nearby family. I love reading my Bible, building my relationship with God, and spending time outdoors, traveling, and with family, friends, and our pups.
PWM: How are you involved in the community?
Irene: As a CrossFit and Nutrition Coach, I aim to help members achieve their best selves. I joined the Chamber to connect with others and extend our wellness efforts beyond the gym, in order to benefit the entire community. I always like to say: “beyond our four walls” as my goal is to have outreach beyond the walls of our gym.
PWM: What else do you want to add that people might not know about you or what you do or offer?
Irene: We provide fitness, nutrition, and accountability in a supportive environment where members experience their best hour of the day. Surrounded by a community that celebrates successes and offers support, our goal is to help members grow physically and mentally stronger. I aim to be a light, spreading joy and helping people handle life’s challenges.
