Old Pueblo Crossfit

Coach Julian:
I’ve always been into working out since high school when I ran track. I started CrossFit at OPC in 2017 because a regular gym wasn’t cutting it. CrossFit has allowed me to hit personal fitness goals, and become a coach where I can help people better themselves.

Coach Kellie
As a child and teen who didn’t participate in sports and would not have been described as “athletic”, CrossFit has transformed me into someone younger Kellie would be amazed by! I started CrossFit in 2014 after not enjoying going to LA Fitness by myself, not having someone to guide me through proper technique, and battling people for the squat rack. I’ve learned so much from CrossFit including learning that I’m capable of doing things I never thought I’d be able to do. I started coaching in 2023 and I love seeing people learn the same things about themselves!

Coach Carlee- coach at OPC since 2014. CrossFit and Youth Speed School coach.

I’ve played sports all my life mostly softball and volleyball. I got into weight lifting when I was in high school to help improve my overall athleticism. I got a scholarship playing volleyball at Embry-Riddle where I continued to weight lift and also got into doing some speed and agility. I started doing crossfit in 2011 and fell in love with it and started coaching in 2012.

Get to know me!
How long have you been doing CrossFit? I started to dabble in CrossFit in 2010 but I didn’t get into it until 2012
What made you fall in love with CrossFit? CrossFit challenged me to get strong and try new things I otherwise wouldn’t have tried and lead me to do things I didn’t think I was capable of.
Whats your favorite thing about coaching? Seeing people accomplish their goals or understand movement better never gets old but my favorite is hearing about how the gym and fitness impacts and improves peoples lives outside the gym - makes them brave enough to try things, be able to be more mobile or just feeling better.
If you could give one piece of advice to someone thinking of starting CrossFit what would it be? Keep coming back! It’s a long game, some things come quickly and some take time but consistency is where the magic happens.
Favorite movement? Squat sn**ch, back squat
Least favorite movement? Strict press and long rows
Fran or Murph? Definitely Fran but still don’t like it
What motivates you during a WOD? I am competitive but also I try to just keep my focus on the next 2-5 reps, what’s right in front of me.
Beach or mountains? Beach but I do love the mountains
Coffee or energy drinks? One of each
