About You
You care about more than simply delivering a workout.
You notice the member standing at the back who needs a little more attention. You care about the quality of the whiteboard brief, how movements are taught and whether every person in the room understands what they are doing and why.
You hold yourself to a high standard and aren't afraid to help other coaches raise theirs.
Most importantly, you understand that great coaching is about creating an experience that makes people want to keep showing up.
If you're excited about taking ownership of a coaching program, developing a team and helping build an exceptional CrossFit community, we'd love to hear from you.
Please attach a cover letter to your application.
