The Team

01

Samantha Shockley

OWNER/HEAD COACH
Certification: L2

I started CrossFit in 2011, received my L1 in 2012 and have been coaching and learning ever since. I played sports my whole life: Cross-country, track and field, and swim team. Lifting weights and challenging my physical ability have always been a top priority for me. Out of college I was missing that team comradery that you can’t find in a global gym. That’s when I immediately fell in love with not only the physical challenges that CrossFit can bring but the community it builds as well. From 2012-2015 my first CrossFit trainer job was with the founding owners of CrossFit Georgetown. Fast-forward to 2018, when we reconnected and a deal transpired, making myself the owner. It’s a wonderful full-circle story. My main goals for CrossFit Georgetown are to hold true to Greg Glassman’s (founder of CrossFit) by continue helping people find the best versions of themselves, and to continue to create a community where all feel welcome regardless of their ability. We all start somewhere, and we can start here together!

Katie Bradshaw

MANAGER
Certification: L2

My fitness journey began when I first discovered my love and passion for Olympic Weight lifting. I had always been a fan of staying fit, but upon discovery of Oly, my eyes had been ‘opened’-so to speak. After my first few weeks of Olympic lifting, I went a little out of my comfort zone, and challenged myself by signing up and competing in a meet…and I took first in my weight class. From there I was hooked. I joined a team at a nearby box and competed in many more meets. After relocating to Texas, I had a hard time finding a place and community where I felt at home. Once I found CFG, I knew I found the place; then all I needed was a team. ‘Oly’ lifting is a very esoteric community and requires a lot of skill and dedication. I decided to get my USAW Coach level 1, in hopes of creating a community of lifters that shares the same passion for the sport as I do. One of my goals is to create a team of dedicated lifters to coach and participate in meets. Athlete safety is an absolute paramount in my programming, so I stress and emphasize proper mobility in lifts and movements and incorporate a lot of mobility work before and after workouts.

Ian Atchison

Coach
Certification: L2

Ian Atchison, hometown – Abilene, TX – I grew up playing baseball and golf through high school and continued to work out and play sports for fun through college. I started CrossFit in 2019 and received my L1 in 2022. I also have my weightlifting L1 through CrossFit. CrossFit has given me an opportunity to coach and be part of a great community, as well as continuing to challenge me and satisfy my competitive nature on a daily basis.

Mallory Lawson

Coach
Certification: L1

My name is Mallory Lawson, and I am a Registered Dietitian who specializes in Diabetes Care and Education, as well as Sports Nutrition. I am an anti-diet dietitian who believes food is fuel and education in nutrition is important when making conscious decisions for you and your family.

I have been involved in athletics my entire life: I started with competitive gymnastics at age 5-11 years old, then changed to a multi-sport athlete focusing on: volleyball, basketball, and track until I was 18. I played Division 1 volleyball at Creighton University. After my collegiate volleyball career, I began competing in CrossFit and made it to the CrossFit Games in 2015 and 2017. A tragic injury took me out of the Games in 2017.

In 2016 I became a sports nutritionist through a sports performance facility in Springfield, MO. With my desire to learn more about disease processes and how to heal our bodies with food I became a Registered Dietitian in 2020. I have a passion to serve individuals and families, through teaching how to use food as fuel to optimize your body’s full capabilities.
