Jamie Hagiya

Jamie Hagiya grew up in Torrance, where she was a standout player on the South High School basketball team and received a scholarship to the University of Southern California. There she was a two-time team captain and led her team to two NCAA tournaments, had 4th all-time in career assists and 2nd all-time in career three-point field goals. After graduating from USC with a degree in Communication, Jamie played professional basketball in Greece and Spain. During the off season, she started her own youth basketball camps and clinics, Hagiya Basketball. In 2010 she temporarily traded in her basketball shoes for a crown and heels as she represented the PJCI for Nisei Week being crowned Miss Tomodachi. After Nisei Week came a turning point of Jamie’s athletic career when she tried out for the WNBA, but did not make the team. Jamie then decided to redirect her focus, energy and efforts toward a second passion: CrossFit. Currently, Jamie is a competitive CrossFit athlete and co-owner/coach at Torrance Training Lab. She is a six-time CrossFit Regional competitor and two-time CrossFit Games Athlete. She also started her own clothing company called “Left Coast Vibes Co.” At the gym, Jamie and her coaching staff work hard to ensure that members are achieving their fitness and health goals, while creating and upholding a tight-knit community. As a fitness enthusiast and advocate for body positivity, she hopes to inspire others to be comfortable in their own skin, go after their dreams, and know that anything is possible.
