OV CrossFit

OV CrossFit OV CrossFit is the Ohio Valley's Exclusive CrossFit Training Gym! What is CrossFit? Our program emphasizes short, constantly-varied, high intensity workouts.

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program that is broad, general and scalable for all ages and athletic abilities including the elite athlete and the limited senior adult. We focus on functional movements – like pushing, pulling, squatting and lifting – combined with strength training, cardio and basic gymnastics. CrossFit can be defined in many ways. CrossFit is community. It is discipline and competition. CrossFit is a reason to fellowship with those that have the values as you. CrossFit is a lifestyle – and if you choose to embrace it – CrossFit will change your life. We train in small groups. If you're curious and would like to try a class for FREE please contact us! We'd LOVE to have you!

Let’s congratulate the following athletes for becoming the newest members of their respected OC Clubs!

Brandon Pastor (Brandon Pastor) 750 Club
Lindsay Matthews (Lindsay Matthews) 1000 Club

Brandon has been a member of the gym since March of 2021. A 9am regular, Brandon is very vocal on the importance of working hard and earning the life you live. He takes pride in the work he puts in each time he walks through the door, and he’s disciplined enough to come even on the hard days. He pushes himself and those around him to be better, and that will always lead to growth and success.

Lindsay has been at OVC since September of 2021. Having been the former winner of our prestigious annual 225 Club drawing, Lindsay knows the physical (and sometimes financial) benefits of consistency. She shows up every day with a smile and a desire to improve. She’s an active member of our community, and she’s known for her seasonal theme changes for JR’s famous cutout at our door. She works hard, keeps things fun, and makes our community the special place that it is.

Congrats, guys!

Let’s congratulate the following athletes for becoming the newest members of their respected OC Clubs!

Tessa England (Tessa) 1250 Club
Shae Miller (Shaenan Miller) 500 Club
Kristen Sloan (Kristen Sloan) 500 Club
Nancy Baumberger 250 Club

Tessa has been a member of OVC since August of 2020. She coaches everything from kids to CrossFit to masters athletes, and she does it all with a smile. She leads by example for the youth athletes in the program and the ones that call her Mom. There has been immense growth in Tessa as an athlete, coach, and human in the last 6 years. It’s been a pleasure to witness it.

Kristen has been a staple of the 9am since she joined in May of 2024. She doesn’t let the 3 little ones running, or crawling, around slow her strong drive to be better. She works hard and is never afraid to do something outside her strengths or comfort zone. Kristen makes everyone around her feel welcome, and her work ethic speaks for itself.

Shae joined our community back in September of 2022. Whether it’s the 4:30 class or open gym, she makes sure that she takes to time out of her day to get the work done. She’s the first to ask how you’re doing when she sees you. It’s been great to see her progress as an athlete over the past few years.

Since March of 2025, Nancy has been a 6am regular. Cold, hot, rain, humidity, Nancy will be there getting her workout in bright and early. Nancy cheers on her classmates, works hard in her workouts, and makes absolutely everyone around her feel like they matter. Her consistency in the classes and in her unwavering support of others is something we love to see inside OVC.

Congrats, ladies!

Starting is the hardest part. We want to make it simple.
Step 1 - Reach out.
No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a simple conversation about where you’re starting and what you want to accomplish.

Step 2 - Come in for a free intro and quick workout.
Meet your coach, see the space, and get a feel for what CrossFit is all about. We’ll walk you through a short, beginner‑friendly workout so you can experience the movements and the community firsthand.

Step 3 - We build a plan that fits your life.
Your schedule, your goals, your pace and a clear path that meets you exactly where you are.

That’s it. No intimidating group class on day one. No trying to keep up with people who’ve been doing this for years.

Just a real plan, a real community, and coaches who are genuinely invested in your success.

Let’s congratulate Jack Bence (Jack Bence) for becoming the newest member of our OC Legends Club.
This exclusive group is for members who have completed at least 1750 classes at OV CrossFit. Jack’s plaque will be hung in our Legends Club area above the membership board.
With such longevity in the community, we asked Jack a few questions about his CrossFit experience.

1. What is your favorite benchmark workout?

Either Murph or Linda

2. What is your favorite movement?

Without a doubt squat cleans

3. What motivates you to make such a commitment to your health and fitness?

I’d say what motivates me most is our youth program. I’m a firm believer that coaches have to set the standard both in their words and their actions. I cannot expect the best out of our athletes if I don’t deliver the best of myself. These kids deserve leaders that embody accountability and dependability, showing them what it means to be more than strong. The hard days become a lot easier when you know the path you’re on is bigger than you.

4. What advice would you give anyone on the fence about trying CrossFit?

I would say life can be hard, exercising is almost always hard, and it’s much harder going through it alone. There is a certain mental and emotional benefit from having likeminded people around to help you beat the battles you don’t tell anyone about. The coaches guide you, the community supports you, and the workouts allow you to grow. In my 10 years here, I’ve seen many people change their lives through community and fitness. Why not you?

Congrats, Jack!

The real workout isn’t just about barbells and sweat.
It’s about learning how to stay calm, focused, and capable when things get hard.

That discipline creates a chain reaction. The confidence to handle life outside the gym.
When your family needs you, when the tire blows out on the interstate, when life throws something heavy your way… you already know how to turn on the switch.

You’ve practiced it here — under pressure, under fatigue, under challenge.
You’ve built the ability to breathe, focus, and move with purpose.

That’s what training at OV CrossFit is really about.
Strength that shows up when it matters most.

Let’s congratulate the following athletes for becoming the newest members of their respected OC Clubs!

Tanner Hull (Tanner Hull) 1250 Club
Tommy Haluscak 250 Club
Theresa Adams 500 Club
Apryl Patterson (Apryl Patterson) Legends Club

Tanner has been part of our community since June 2019. Tanner is no nonsense; he comes in, works hard, and stays humble. Whether it’s registering for a random competition with Jack and JR or wrangling his two boys, Tanner does it with a quiet demeanor and a strong determination to be the best that he can be.

Tommy has been with us since July of 2024. He is an active member of our community, and he never fails to go above and beyond for his fellow service members. Whether it’s charity events, helping others in need, or one of our Hero WODs, Tommy approaches them with a massive heart. He’s the first to make others feel welcome, and has been a pleasure to have within our walls for the past 2 years.

Theresa joined OVC back in December of 2023. If you would’ve told Theresa upon joining all of the events that would unfold these past couple of years, she would’ve sworn you were crazy. She has grown immensely both as an athlete and as a human, and it’s truly been incredible to see. Theresa is living proof that relentless hard work, a great community, and a couple conspirators playing matchmaker can actually change someone’s life.

Since joining OVC in January 2017, Apryl has shown what true consistency looks like. She brings maximum effort to every session and doesn’t settle for anything other than her very best. She’s passionate to a fault in her training, and is the first to push those around her to hold that same standard.

Congrats, everyone!
