Coaching

The only CF-L3 in Grayson County.

Credentials matter because coaching is a skill, not a vibe. I'm a Certified CrossFit Level 3 Trainer (CF-L3), with CrossFit specialty courses in Kids, Masters, and training pregnant & postpartum athletes — and I'm preparing for the CF-L4. All of my coaching happens at CrossFit Barbell Republic, a licensed CrossFit affiliate in downtown Denison.

Where I coach

Find me on the floor

Group classes

CrossFit Barbell Republic

I coach nine group classes a week at CBR in downtown Denison — mornings, the 11:30 open box, and afternoons. If you want to train with me, that's where I am. Your first class at CBR is free.

Masters athletes

Training past fifty

I compete in the 55-59 division, so masters programming isn't theory to me — it's my own training log. Scaling, recovery, and skill work for athletes who plan to be doing this at seventy.

Kids & families

CrossFit Kids

I hold the CrossFit Kids course credential. At CBR we blend kids into the life of the gym rather than parking them in a separate room.

Pregnancy & postpartum

Training through it

Credentialed in training pregnant and postpartum athletes — keeping women training safely through pregnancy and building back after.

Questions

Fair things to ask

What does CF-L3 actually mean?

The Certified CrossFit Level 3 Trainer (CF-L3) is CrossFit's first credential earned by examination against a professional standard, not by attending a course. It sits on top of hundreds of documented coaching hours. I'm currently preparing for the CF-L4, CrossFit's highest coaching credential, which is assessed by live evaluation.

Do you coach people who aren't CBR members?

All of my CrossFit coaching happens through CrossFit Barbell Republic — that's how the affiliate system works, and it's where you get the whole gym behind you, not just me. If you're local, your first class there is free. Personal training at the gym is also booked through CBR.

I'm over 50 and out of shape. Is this for me?

Yes — and you're my favorite kind of athlete to coach. Everything scales. I coach people your age every week, and I am people your age.
