Meet the Coach: Coach Dave
I’ve been at CrossFit NWA since 2013, and what started as trying out a few classes quickly became a huge part of my daily and weekly routine. To me, CrossFit is all about community and challenging yourself to become stronger—both physically and mentally. It’s more than just fitness; it’s about showing up, pushing your limits, and enjoying the workouts alongside people who support and challenge each other.
At the start of 2026, my family and I were talking about goals for the year, and I blurted out that I’d been thinking about becoming a CrossFit coach. Their immediate response was, “What are you waiting for? Go do it.” That push was exactly what I needed. I took action, earned my Level 1 certification, and now I’m excited for the opportunity to give back to something that has been a huge part of my life.
As a coach, I strive to bring plenty of energy, a little sarcasm, and some quirkiness—because we should work hard and have fun doing it. Outside the gym, I’m a husband, dad, someone who enjoys a good laugh, is always up for a challenge or adventure, and loves helping others along their health and fitness journey.
