Meet Our Team of Diverse & Seasoned Coaches.

Owner & Coach Alex - CFL2

My name is Alex, and I've been involved in the CrossFit Community since 2010. For the past 8 years, I've served as a coach at CrossFit 916, holding a Level 2 CrossFit Certification. Coaching brings me great joy, as it allows me to assist individuals in their journey towards self-improvement. The unwavering support and love from the CrossFit 916 community have truly touched me. My ultimate happiness is found in the gym, guiding and supporting my community to reach their full potential.

Coach Chelsea - CFL2

Chelsea, a CF-L2 trainer and mom of three, is passionate about CrossFit and her gym community. She joined CrossFit a decade ago, earned her L1 in 2018, and loves coaching and customizing workouts. With nearly 20 local competitions, she inspires the CrossFit 916 family to stay active.

Coach SID - CFl1 / USAW

I’ve been in the CrossFit community for over 11 years, training with athletes who went on to win at the CrossFit Games. With a background in powerlifting, strongman, and Olympic weightlifting, I’ve earned titles including World Champion, World Masters Games Champion, and 2× USA Masters National Champion.

Equally rewarding is coaching athletes who’ve become Masters National Champions, Masters World medalists, and national-level competitors. For me, the barbell and CrossFit are about more than titles—they’re about building strength, confidence, and consistency that carry into everyday life.
