our story
about us
We’re more than just a gym—we’re a community dedicated to helping you build strength, improve endurance, and create lasting, healthy habits.
allen & katie thompson
We’ve both been involved in the Orlando CrossFit community for more than 8 years as athletes and members of several gyms around the area.
A little more about us, we’ve been married for 6 years and we live that CrossFit lifestyle. When we travel, we always drop-in somewhere, so a box needs to be nearby wherever we go. Sometimes, we even bring our own weights on road-trip vacations and workout on the patio of an AirBnB or in a hotel parking lot! Between the two of us, we’ve done several competitions (CF Championship Cup, Zombie WODs, ACC, and War on Wall Street). We even made it to the podium for the first time as a Masters Team in the CF Championships in Lakeland, FL, last summer. We are fans of the sport of CrossFit and tune in to watch as many events as we can. Yeah, we live that CrossFit life. Allen is a CF-L1 Trainer and Katie leveled up to a CF-L2 Trainer in 2024!
About Katie
And me, Katie, I hail from Green Bay, Wisconsin. I grew up as a dancer, singer, and actress. Dancing was my preferred form of exercise, until Allen dragged me to a Halloween WOD on our third date, and I fell in love with the sport of fitness, too.
My business background started in Sales for tourism companies, running events in Mexico (luckily I’m fluent in Spanish). I had the pleasure of working with Allen as the Head of Sales for RIP-IT Sports, before jumping full-time into self employment in January 2024. I like to think of myself as a super friendly and outgoing, people-person who brings charisma and hospitality to the MouseTrap Fitness community.
