Our Coaching Team
Amanda Thompson
Owner
From the moment she walked into Lanier Strength & Conditioning in 2016, Amanda fell in love with the CrossFit methodology, the community and — most of all — the undeniable family bond shared by the Cumming location's trainers and members. The experience transformed her life in more ways than one, empowering her to achieve her personal best in all areas. In 2017, she obtained her Level 1 Coach Certificate — followed shortly thereafter by her CrossFit Kids Certificate and her Level 2 Coach Certificate. Finally, she achieved her dream of purchasing Lanier Strength & Conditioning in 2021. Still striving to achieve her personal best, she continues to educate herself in all things health and fitness to ensure the highest level of service to her members while maintaining the family bond that first drew her here.
Mike Snajkowski
Head Coach
A CrossFitter since 2012, Mike has competed in a variety of local and regional CrossFit competitions. He has achieved both his Level One and Level Two Trainer Certifications and continues to push for additional certifications in order to provide his personal best to Lanier Strength & Conditioning members. Well-known for his encouraging, yet focused coaching style, our members always enjoy his full attention and trust that he has only the best intentions for their health and safety. A consummate athlete, in addition to CrossFit, Mike loves to run and has completed everything from 5Ks to full marathons.

Rachel Riemersma
Coach
I started doing CrossFit in 2019 after struggling with anorexia and beginning my journey to recovery. CrossFit was the thing that truly made a difference in my recovery, as it was so different than any other fitness space I had ever been exposed to. The community and atmosphere at Lanier Strength & Conditioning made me finally stop caring about getting smaller, and made me focus on getting stronger. CrossFit helped me heal both mentally and physically and that is why I love it so much. I am so excited to be coaching at the place that made such a difference in my life, and I only hope I can do the same for others and spread the love that I have for CrossFit!

Kim Ingram
Coach
After having two kids and gaining an unhealthy amount of pregnancy weight, Kim realized she needed to take control of her life and prioritize her health and fitness. In 2015, a friend recommended Lanier Strength & Conditioning. She popped in to see what CrossFit was all about, and after meeting with the staff she quickly signed up for a membership. She loved that all the thinking was taken out of it. Eight years later, Kim is a healthier, stronger version of herself. She acquired her CrossFit Level 1 certificate recently, and is super excited and motivated to help athletes reach their goals. Kim can't wait to help members see their own potential, no matter their skill level, and to hopefully inspire the way she was inspired the first time a coach told her she was strong.
