Meet Our Team

Owner / Trainer
Jennifer Saban
Coach Jen has been coaching adults, teens and kids in various capacities for over 20 years. Swimming, dance and varsity volleyball were the original triplet during her first career as a high school English teacher and Vice Principal, having competed in all three growing up. After moving to California in 2011, she took her teaching and coaching experience to the gym full-time where she specialized in sport specific strength & conditioning. She has a passion for helping athletes elevate their game on the court, field or ice because of the extra work they put in at the gym in and out of season. She was introduced to CrossFit in 2015 and joined CrossFit Campbell in 2016, first as an athlete and later as a trainer. As a Masters athlete, she enjoys competing in local competitions as a way to keep her own fitness a priority despite a very busy and active life with her husband, raising three children (18, 15, & 10), and running a business. Jen bought Catamount Fitness/CrossFit Campbell, an affiliate formed in 2008, from the original owner in December 2019 and moved it to its present location in June 2020. It is her mission to make Catamount Fitness/CrossFit Campbell the gold standard for an inclusive and inspiring gathering place within the Campbell and surrounding community for people to find their fitness, improve on their fitness and celebrate their accomplishments regardless of age, gender or race. With her Canadian roots, she views this gym and its members as her extended American family and she can’t wait to have you be a part of it!

Trainer
Mike Peattie
Coach Mike originally came to CrossFit in 2012 as a conditioning program for rec-league ice hockey, and has been addicted every since. CrossFit forged an avid interest in the sport of weightlifting, leading to CrossFit and weightlifting coaching (USAW L2) starting in 2020. What keeps Mike coming back to 6am workouts is the great community of CrossFit Campbell, and those shared butterflies that happen when Fran or a 1RM snatch is on the agenda. He credits CFC for keeping him in shape for his other interests - music, backpacking, and avoiding long runs.

Meena Shams
Coach Meena was introduced to CrossFit Campbell in 2019, participating in the Women's Strength Training group. Her true passion for CrossFit was created during the virtual classes of the 2020 pandemic, when even without traditional gym equipment, Meena continued to see improvements in her strength, mobility and endurance. From this, Meena was inspired to earn her L1 coaching certificate in November 2021 and started coaching at CFC shortly thereafter in 2022. Meena enjoys coaching at CFC because or the tight knit community. When Meena isn't coaching, she enjoys spending time with her family and dog, Pearl.
