Coaches

We are in the fitness industry but our business is creating relationships with the focus of fitness. Our coaches meetings are always centred around creating a better service to be more valuable to our community on a personal level. Sharing content and knowledge makes up only a portion of what we try to deliver. What we find even more important is the way we treat people individually. Our coaches are extremely caring and genuine, and strive to make everyone feel welcome, appreciated and special. With this at the foundation, our coaches develop ways to deliver knowledge and content in a caring manner, creating genuine relationships with each and every member.

I started my CrossFit journey in 2014, fell in love with it & have been ever since. I’ve grown up playing sports, but the trouble is I use to get bored easy! So finding CrossFit with so much variance was the best thing that ever happened to me.  I never really planned on being a coach or owning a CrossFit gym –  it just kind of all fell into place thanks to James Sanders, Simon and Fiona McCredie. I would never of thought I would love coaching so much but seeing somone get something for the first time or progress in something is a great feeling as a coach. That’s what keeps me coming back each day! Coaching and being part owner of Coffs Coast CrossFit is a true blessing. And why wouldn’t it be….. I get to coach and train with a bunch of legends every day. I’m excited to be part of such an awesome team & community !

Howdy guys,
For those of you who don’t know me I’ve been training at Coffs Coast for about 6 months now. I’m one of those noisey clowns who turns up to the 4:30 class almost every arvo. Fitness is a passion of mine and I have been doing personal training for almost 3 years now. Currently working alongside CCCF offering PT outside of class times as an option for those who are looking to do few extras. Functional fitness is something of a speciality for me. Working on mobility and core strength things I also offer. If your looking for any advice or a chat feel free to catch me in the afternoons or let one of the coaches know.

I immediately fell in love with CrossFit when I stumbled across it in 2015 after feeling defeated & frustrated with my current exercise regime.

I was stuck in a rut, obsessing over my weight & exercise became a chore! I’m sure lots of people can relate to this… My mission as a Coach at Coffs Coast CrossFit is to change your attitude of “fitness & exercise”.

I want to remind you that if you put in the work, anything is possible. Show you that your body is amazing regardless of shape, size or age & you should be proud of what it is capable of. I want to ensure that your CF session is something to look forward to everyday!

For those of you that have seen me run, you know why I love weightlifting. I developed my passion for weightlifting initially through Crossfit, and started training primarily in weightlifting in 2014. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to start weightlifting coaching, and haven’t looked back.

I am a qualified Australian Weightlifting Federation Level 2 Weightlifting / Sports Power Coach, and have been primarily coaching weightlifting for Crossfitters. Outside of the gym, I am a physiotherapist at Mid North Coast Physiotherapy. I use my understanding of the musculoskeletal system to make learning weightlifting as safe as possible, and to help people develop the skills required to get strong and move well.

Weightlifting is a blend of power, speed, strength and skill. Every time you practice, you learn more – and that process never ends. That’s why I love lifting, and I love coaching it. I am excited to share my skills, knowledge and passion with you guys!
