Lina Nguyễn

General Manager

My journey to HEAT has been a long and windy one. I spent most of my life following my corporate career across the world between Atlanta, Paris, Singapore, Cleveland, and NYC. The one constant was a love for personal growth and fitness. 

I grew up playing soccer and started running track and cross-country in the offseason until I realized I was a much better runner than soccer player. I continued into endurance events after college, racing in dozens of marathons and triathlons. I’ve taken a hiatus from endurance racing to try my hand at Krav Maga, yoga, and pickleball, but running has always been my #1. I love that I can be anywhere in the world and all I need are my sneakers in order to feel home.

I moved to Austin in 2021 after spending two years as a digital nomad. I fell in love with the energy, people and sunshine in Austin, and decided to leave the corporate world to pursue a career in fitness. I reached out to HEAT Bootcamp after being at their community event and became the general manager in October 2023. I’m excited and grateful for this new adventure and to be part of such a wonderful team.
