Colorado School of Mines Athletics

Colleen Pritchard joined the Mines staff as the Assistant Director of Fitness in July 2022.

Colleen got her start in campus recreation at Merrimack College while earning her degree in Nutritional Sciences. She started out working the front desk but quickly realized she wanted to be more hands-on, eventually working her way up to Team Leader of Personal Training. Along the way, she built a diverse skill set to help people look at health holistically - earning certifications as a NASM Personal Trainer, a NASM Nutrition Coach, and a 200-hour yoga instructor. Her background also includes completing two strength and conditioning internships and earning her Master’s degree in Business Management from Merrimack College in August 2022.

Outside of work, you can usually find her lifting weights, on her yoga mat, hitting the hiking trails, or hanging out with friends and family.
