Natalie Gantz

Natalie Gantz is a coach with a deep passion for movement, storytelling, and community. A commercial photographer by trade, she brings a creative and grounded perspective to everything she does—whether behind the camera or on the coaching floor. Originally from Atlanta, Natalie made her way to Los Angeles and eventually settled in San Francisco, where she lives with her husband (also a photographer) and their two adventurous boys. Natalie discovered CrossFit at the legendary San Francisco CrossFit and continued her journey with us at 7x7, where she quickly found herself drawn to the deeper "why" behind training. With a warm and inclusive style, she brings the same energy and attention to coaching that she brings to her photography—helping people feel seen, supported, and empowered. After graduating from our coaching intern program, she officially joined the staff and hasn't looked back.

When she’s not coaching, you’ll likely find Natalie swimming in the bay with the South End Rowing Club, leading open water swim groups, or training for events like the Trans Tahoe Relay. She’s also frequently spotted chasing her two boys, geeking out over holistic nutrition, or capturing stories of food, farming, and the human experience through her lens. Natalie’s coaching is rooted in curiosity, connection, and joy—and she’s here to help you move better, feel stronger, and find your own rhythm.
