LEXI GROSE

Founder

Lexi is an entrepreneur with a passion for fitness, health, and working with children. She has worked as a certified CrossFit coach/trainer at Strive Strength and Conditioning in Bastrop from 2019 thru January 2021.

During her time coaching, Lexi recognized that child care was often a barrier for parents trying to get their workouts in. Always happy to step in and help, the former nanny became known as the “gym mom” because she coached countless classes with kids on her shoulders or babies in her arms! Wild child was born as an opportunity to serve the community while encouraging kids and adults to prioritize fitness, healthy living, and fun!

EVE LYONS

Owner & Director of Wild Child

Eve Lyons is an immigrant from Russia and a proud mother of five, driven by a deep passion for creating safe, engaging spaces where children can thrive.
